Description

I thought the stamen and the coloring on the petals looked like a hawk or an eagle. Do you see it?

Glad you saw him first...I'd have waltzed on by...but with a bit of a prolonged look...I've got him! Beautiful flower and well worth a long look.

Yes, in full flap just before touchdown! Well done! That's an extreme range of exposure to show detail in the brights and the darks.

OMG, there's rapture in that raptor! Oh yes, this is a Rorschach test inkblot of unparalleled quality, indeed! I like the way the red is splotched on the bottom petal, and the way it blends out on the top petals. And the pistil...well, definite sexual connotations there.
