Pastels in a small space

Just having some fun with a couple close-up filters in the garden. I was trying for the coral bells, but I can do better than the best shot from tonight. So for today I have the inside of a yellow snap dragon on the south side of the house.

I hope some of you appreciate the “reckless” composition this was for me through the lens: this is *not* cropped! Just an automatic contrast adjustment and name added.
