Fantastic photograph. The light is wonderful and it does the subject such justice overall. Love it!

This was one of my top favorites, for all the above listed reasons.
It is a photo that calls for you to view it many times, each time seeing more of the detail, and wonderful soft colors of the blooms. I would hang this one on my wall in a frame.

I love the name Flying Saucer too! Very apt.
