I find these creatures fascinating. I attempted to photograph one at the local botanical gardens (it wasn`t so wild in color, just a combination of green and red) many times but have yet to succeed. This is really beautiful, and it even looks like the center-based composition works better than anything here. The colors and dew drops are fantastic, very much pleasing to the eye. Would be ideal if not for the slightly blurry stalk and what appear to be slightly blurry edges on the three `spikes`. Still, this is undeniably very impressive.
Must be the most lovely sight in the skies.
Defenitely the new POTD! Excellent composition - Beautiful image!
