This is superb, Peter. The light, the DoF, the composition. But, yes: especially the light.
I find the personification real: as though some plants have it all over humans in the way they can trap part of the sun if only for a slight slice of time. And they revel in light and add to its beauty.
Thanks Julie, the pic has all the elements that we have been learning of lately.
I love the way that one doesn't need to find a perfect specimen to appreciate the beauty that is there, and to be honest with myself, without my camera in my hand I might not have stopped to peer at it.
Olá amigo! Tens um espaço maravilhoso com belas fotos, porém seria bem melhor se colocasses um tradutor, Pois ficaria mais fácil para entender e comentar.
Hey I remember us having a conversation about banksias a couple of years ago. This one is terrific. I love the colour, the light of course and the background. Good 'un.
Been having a email conversation with an American writer about photography. One of the points made was that the camera makes us take life slower and stop and see. Glad you stopped this day.
I had no idea what banksias are, but Google helped me. This is exactly why I love CDPB! Not only do I enjoy incredible photos, but I also learn... this time about banksia (Wiki): "Banksia plants are naturally adapted to the presence of regular bushfires in the Australian landscape. About half of Banksia species are killed by bushfire, but these regenerate quickly from seed, as fire also stimulates the opening of seed-bearing follicles and the germination of seed in the ground."

Nice flower and shot !
I love Banksias, we have alot of them here near the beaches on seaside properties.
I agree with Julie, the light is magnificent! Excellent picture.
Oh, you are sneaky! Well done, a lovely banksia.
I just like sneaking up full stop. Photography is just not a normal occupation or hobby..,stalking plants. Classy image though.
Great photo!
