Nice photo. The green color of the interior of the flower seems so contrary to the outer colors of the flower. Fascinating.

That's beautiful Athena - the lighting is spot on and I love the contrast between the green centre and the magenta-tinged petals.

Love your setup - LOL, I'm not the only one who commandeers household 'stuff' for my photography!

All the best

Steve

You've done justice to the fancy lotus, Athena. Fun setup shot, too.

Wonderful shot Athena
Do you know if these come in different species ?- in some pics I've seen the central part is much larger.

While I like the shot, the setup shot is appreciated. It's always fun to see how others took the shot.
