I wondered from the thumbnail what kind of flower it was. Beautiful.

Beautiful. I had the dizzying sensation that I was a bee for a moment there... ;^)

The center detail is so amazing. Such a beautiful flower.

Rick the flowers are about 6 to 7 inches in diameter and are still on the cactus.
I shot the picture from below the flower over a fence.

I don't get to see cactus flowers here . .or at least not often . . this is very pretty!

I've never seen a cactus flower quite this beautiful. The center is amazing.

Wow, love all the layers here. Nice shot.

This is a very complicated flower. Excellent detail and balanced tone across the areas of interest. I think it might have benefited from a second light source or perhaps a different angle to the one present. The backlighting works very well for the petals but does not do justice to that complexity in the center.

Nice shot. These are fantastic flowers. Only wish they would last longer.

This is an absolutely beautiful flower that no self-respecting insect should resist.
