A bit over exposed, but I like the bold composition. Bird of Paradice is my favorite flower.
Check out my “Fish Tears” painting.
I saw your other photographs. You do have talent. Great photos.

I did intend to make it a little overexposed, because I like that “glow”. Thanks and I’ll look out next time!
