A crop from my A7ii w/Canon 35mm f2.8 attached. Wrong lens for flowers IMO, but it seemed to work out well.

Alan, have the flower a name. Beautiful flower as is the image.

Thanks.
That is its name Maurice, Bird of Paradise.

Not too bad lens this time, because the color of the flower stands out well from the green foliage

Always enjoy viewing shots of this bloom.

They really are interesting looking blooms. You shot it from a good angle to show the shape well.

Nice capture, can any lens be wrong for flowers?

This flower will be a queen if the background were dark; shoot it at night with a diffused flash with nothing in the background

Alan, I love it and I like the fact that it is not sharpened to the hilt.
Cheers Ole

Ole - This is one of the few that I've actually sharpened at all. Glad you like it.
