Hi Bev,
What a clear and sharp close-up on this flower.
I like the fine details on its heart and the bright green colors of foliage making a good and alive contrast! Bravo! Annie

Hi Bev,
A lovely well composed flower to cheer David on his birthday. Clueless me have never heard of the term antipodean before but will google it for my elucidation. A delightful posting. Best regards, Danilo

Hi Bev,
What a superb present for David; and he earns it! :-)
Wonderful how you captured this delicate flower! White is always difficult to capture without overexposure, but you managed it very well. Good job my dear.

A bit late, but I will add my congratulations to yours Bev.

A beauty of a flower in a beauty of a dedication. (That assistant would have though about a tasmanian devil, but to come up with flowers no doubt is much more difficult)
Nice touch that wilted flower in the BG, sets of this one even more.

Lovely Bev. Your thought process is much better than mine though, I am afraid. I was just out walking the dogs and my little daisy was there by herself in the ditch at the side of the road. I wanted a flower for him and the wildflower appealed to me. I love how the center of yours is kind of stringy and the details lovley. Great white with the contrast of greens. A charming, and I am sure appreciated greeting. Well done.
Warmest regards
Wanda

Thank you Bev, I think every older style garden in Australia has at least one of these. Lovely colour and detail and the flower nicely postioned in the frame.

What, for me anyway, sets this off is the incredible sharpness that highlights the very vivid colors and, especially white petals.
Great composition with the flower itself just off center a bit, surrounded by the gentle greens.
Good work.
TFS,
Wilt

HI Bev

What a beautiful composition. The pure white of the flower contrasts so very well with the green leaves and the nice framing.
