How vibrant the reds are against the old gray branches, and your presentation is very artistic Steve..!

Seems that Mother Nature uses Photoshop and succeeds in doing great selective color with the help of your eye & frame !

Even the thumbnail of this stood out to me! It's a lovely shot - almost natural selective colouring with the wood behind. Well composed.

@Vitor Martins: No selective coloring in this one. Those colors are as they were found.
kiji from valenciennes, France
Very nice compo! I love the branches in the background. They make a good contrast with the tonic red of the flower :)

I love this contrast! Something bright and lively intertwined with the dry lifeless wood.

A fine job of creating an attractive composition. I like how the dead branch spreads down across the image while the vivid color of the flower makes a strong impact. Very well done.

Beautiful image. Amazing how you found such an image on the desert (there is a hint of it from the dry bush on the background).

Such a vibrant color that I wouldn't expect to see in a desert environment. A great find and composition among the driftwood.
