Thank you everyone for your kind words. I’m very happy you enjoyed the photograph as much as I did.

Mandrake,

The dark gray background is actually the asphalt on the road and the light color background is the concrete on the island. I’m glad you like my logo. I think you might have mentioned it once before. Don’t exactly remember, my mind fails me at times too.  🙂

Mscharff,

Thank you, I’m glad you like it.

I used a circular polarizing filter and flash gun. The Cir Polar filter removes a lot of glare and enhances the color of foliage. The flash was used with a small defusing plastic tab that comes with the filter. It created a soft light and diminished the shadows on the left side of the flower. My advice is to use a polarizing filter, it will make the colors pop.

Love, Monkey 

Thanks Dr. Teady.
