A colorful flower just waiting to burst open, I'd like to see it when it does. The bokeh has made a brilliant effect to the background.

the contrasting blurred blue background throws such focus on your subject! like how the red diffuse light spots echos the colours of the flower.

Anne-laure from France

Superbes couleurs ! Cet arrière plan bleu, ce n'est pas commun pour une photo de plante (on est tellement habitué au vert !), et j'aime particulièrement les ronds de couleurs flous en arrière plan .... C'est tellement important l'arrière plan !

Bonne journée !
