Heart of gold

Absolutly, simply stunning!

The composition for the shot is perfect for a close up such as this. I love how the border is faded giving a sense of moving inward towards the center. The value of the petals is really visable and truely makes the middle of the flower pop from the complamentry colours. The refraction of light on the yellow center is so subtle but it really just finishes off this wonderful photo!

Overall it is a very lovely photo that draws the viewer to the center of the flower while still being able to view the encompassing petals.
