I had seen this image every time I looked at the leaves of this flower. Some how the light was never hitting it at the right angle. And in the days of film I never had any f2.8 lenses. I am very satisfied with this photograph. It just works. The light is amazing, the colors are dashing. I like the highlight at the very edge of the leaves in the front. It adds some good detail. The pattern of color in the background is very interesting and reminds me of painting. This is one of my favorite shots for this week.

I took this yesterday after a school's graduation meeting. Today myself and a friend will be making pictures at the graduation. I am just making sure every is ready for me to leave. Enjoy. Cheers.
