A little worse for wear.

Lovely shot. Fascinating use of (minimal) colour.

**othar** · 06-27-2021, 09:50 AM

Nice composition and interesting processing.
The flower looks like it's gonna bite you

**Michail_P** · 06-27-2021, 10:26 AM

Great shot. Excellent color. Bravo.

Very impressive macro/close-up. And nice to see that 55-300 PLM is suitable for this kind of masterpieces. You seem to know how to use it

Indeed, a very cool photo. The "almost B&W" works well.

**pichaser** · 06-27-2021, 03:02 PM

Very nice work sir .

Very interesting saturation settings. But, even aside from that, the image is excellent.

It's a Showy Milkweed. Pretty cool looking flowers for sure. Also milkweeds are the only plants in the world a Monarch butterfly will lay her eggs on.
