This is gorgeous,Rob. So rich. Love the textures. This is one of those images that deserves to be really big. It gives it a kind of abstract feel when you see something natural blown way out of proportion.

Sharp enough that each seperate seed which makes up the centre can be seen in detail, the eye is immediately drawn in. The contrasts of the green with the complementary red of the petals is very effective as is the repeating patterns and shapes of the golden yellow curls. Natural artistry displayed well,an excellent capture.
