Something about the brilliant flame of golden colors, perhaps, gives the impression of sunlight. SO beautiful!

Mark, Thanks for your comment on my on the beach entry and I wish I had got that ribbon too! I thought I would return the comment, congrats on breaking six and having a new personal best. My only suggestion would really be to try a crop where the center of the flower in focus is directly in the intersection of the horizontal and vertical rule of thirds. IMO with so little in focus having the one thing in focus in that spot may have helped out, but really I think its great and thats all I can think of for improvement. THanks again.

I really like the DOF. The oversaturated colors work fine in this instance. Nicely composed too. 7

We do have a lot of flowers in those competitions and one slowly does grow bored of them, because there are all the same and rather bring! However, yours are fun to look at and I think you've done a great job making it vivid and rich in colorful. It's definitely in the top ten of my list.
