My eye goes right away to the glowing green/yellow to the left of the lower flower centre. I love the dark recess to light glow contrast there. The green/red palette is vibrant and the red edging of the petals is wonderful. Nice, delicate striations on the petals. And the red speckling- what a journey you went on here. Thanks for bringing me along. 🙂

Wow such an interesting flower, Ishbel! I can see why you’d want to capture it in a drawing! I wonder about that fluorescent yellow/green and if it’s as bright as is seems in the photo… I might try to tone that down just a little bit? What do y’all think?
I really need to work on my iphone photography I think. White paper often shows up too grey and when I fiddle with the editor, colours get a bit weird. You’re probably right that it is a bit strong especially because the white of the petals has dulled down too much. Here’s a different exposure
