Gigi: What a delight to have you posting here again. You have definitely not lost your touch with flowers. This is just amazing from the subject to the lighting to the capture. Most excellent my friend and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you. May you have wonderful subjects and even better light. >=))>

I absolutely love this photograph, Gigi. The moment I saw it, the unique subject and rich colors pulling out of the dark background grabbed my attention. The contrast is beautiful, and the lighting is perfect. Congratulations on such a striking image.

What a wonderful plant, Gigi. I love the lighting in this image and your composition is superb. Merry Christmas to you as well.

Wow! This is fantastic and so intriguing. That shaft of light highlighting the greens and yellows is such a spotlight and makes me wonder just how blue the rest of it is. The curly edges in white are so amazing and I would love to see this plant in real life.

I can only echo the above comments – amazing image! I love the depth of field, the vivid colors, and the contrast. Nicely done. Merry Christmas to you too.

Sorry I missed this - original, very striking and so beautiful. I love how your lighting emphasizes the structure of the blooms. Well taken!

I don’t know how I managed to miss this until now! It is wonderful, amazing and so different! Congratulations on the EP!! So well-deserved!
