Nice photos. It would be a little more dramatic if they hadn't been softened up. I would have gone up on the contrast a bit. I like it though!

Wow you are in CA, and yet that is a native Australian plant. Although CA is covered in them. God job :)

This hurts my eyes. Looks like a hard flower to focus on. What I see that is the best in focus are the few leaves to the right of the flower. The angle and framing/cropping are ok. I wonder if this might have higher impact though if the flower wasn't dead center. Sometimes it works ok, and sometimes you'd be surprised at how a slight shift makes a world of difference. ~Heather~

Great closeup! I wish the lizard were just a bit lighter; tough to do with the bright white surroundings. Very nice overall. --8

Hehe, bottle brushes aren't tropical! I've lived with them all my life and never been in the tropics.

I think the photo is a little busy. A tighter crop could have been better.

Lovely flower! The color seems a little washed, though. Try darker light or just a touch of post-taking processing.

It almost looks stretched (horizontally), because of the angle and the shape of the lizard. - 6
