Fall’s Bloom
This flower attracting, bearing man’s blessing and burdens.
To be seen in our piety and our complete inadequate nakedness
Be able to stand here with fig leaf and loathsome shame
To face the burden of our aching aggressive self
Within the beauty of our gentled palm
See life and death, either as blessing or scorn.

Lovely colors, very powerful. Love the treatment 🙂
I’m glad I clicked on your thumbnail to see if you’d posted. (You’re not pinging VFXY and this shot isn’t showing:-)Absolutely gorgeous, Elaine. I love it. Yellow is my favorite color of flower. The soft background is just amazing.
Agree with the majority of your commenters on this one Elaine, the vivid colours are sensational. The space behind and around the thorns grabs my eye particularly. Beautiful balance, a nice even spread of tones… To have this framed on a white wall during autumn, hey 🙂 Awesome, kiddo.
Great macro! Love the colors and framing: it pops up 🙂 SwissCharles
