Don’t let the vague title throw you; this is actually an extreme closeup of a flower, taken at a golf course near my home in Huntington Beach California.

I love to find and photograph naturally-occurring examples of complementary colors, and this image succeeds because of that, along with the strong value contrast and interesting shapes.

This base image served as the starting point for many digital creations. See my Digital Imagery set for two examples.
