This is a very beautiful flower, native or not, Sharon, and you’ve captured it perfectly. Do you shoot it as a macro? The DoF and detail shown is so clear, and the light is perfect on the wonderful colours.
Sharona replied
Yes, this is in macro – and I was unsure how it would turn out as it was shot in very open and brilliant sunlight. It is the most glorious protea I have ever seen. So glad you like it – many thanks for your lovely comment :o))
