What vibrant colors!

Against a black background the colors are all the more stunning.

I find your three colours here really complementary - and so bold! I might have put a bit more space under the flowers, but it’s a stunning image, John. In Korea we call this trumpet vine (Campsis), but it’s usually orange - and it can run rampant!

This certainly caught my eye in the thumbnails. The magenta/green elements create a visually stronl color scheme, and the amount of each is nicely balanced. The slightly OOF leaf in the background is a bit distracting relative to the sharper leaf in the foreground, but DOF is understandably difficult with subjects like this.

Thanks Ariella, Mike and Tony, I find this flower is pretty dull with the orange color for some reason so a small kick of saturation helps, to me.
