    Thanks High Kype
    I was quite lucky to find it as it was just about the last one on the bush that wasn't falling apart and there are next to no other flowers still in bloom.

    Someone has asked if my photo of Senetti is enhanced. No it isn't in any way at all. Apart from conversion from RAW format into jpeg and slight cropping it is exactly as taken. For anyone else wondering how the photo was taken - it was taken on top of a mirror with the sky reflected in the mirror. I took 40 photos at varying exposures using a 50mm macro lens. To give a better idea of the set up two full frame photos are below. The first photo with blue sky and darker flowers is in conventional terms probably a more 'correct' exposure taken at 1/25 second at f16. The second photo is the one I croppped for my competition entry and is over exposed and taken at 1/8 second at f16. I wasn't quite sure which exposure I liked best but in the end opted for the paler version (I may yet change my mind:skp:)
