'Orange Gerbera' by Rixoon

Orange Gerbera, a photo by Rixoon on Flickr.

When I saw this photo I did just think "Wow"! It's really so striking. The colours are fantastic. In general I'm not a huge fan of orange but I love seeing it used effectively with other bright colours. The best bit about this is the water droplets though as they really add something to the picture. I think taking photos of flowers in the rain is a great thing to do. Hopefully, I won't be able to do it again any time soon though. The rain has stopped here and the summer appears to have arrived. Hooray!

This is the photo that jumped out today saying "Pick Me, Pick Me!!!!" and so I did. I love this deep red colour and I think close up shots of flowers can be so interesting. I really love how defined each petal is too. This is fantastic work which I think would actually look great blown up huge and displayed on a plain white wall.
