Battered and bruised but still beautiful

I really dithered between the black and white and coloured versions of this (and a half and half version), but chose the glowing yellow.

This was from a walk on the local common yesterday evening, getting steps in when it was a bit cooler after another hot day.

this is just stunning, love the yellow and green tones.

Terrific close up and beautiful tones. Most of the time I prefer to see fowers in their natural colours than in b&w.

A lovely close-up, very nice detail. It may be at the end of it's life but it's attractive to the end - fav!

Very nice!

Lovely petal texture. Believe it or not I'm looking at a similar decision right now, a small yellow flower, floating in a sea of dark foliage, to BW or not to BW?

Still looks as if it is smiling at you
