What a great eye and title Alison! I love that defiant burst of crimson pink!

Fab focus, and dof. Such sharpness and detail on the budding flower, its really popping. It's amazing that it's so pink. Well spotted.

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

@jackie8 @jennywren thank you both but I changed the colour in PSE in order to make the point of individuality. I'll add an explanation to the caption.

Super shot Alison. Great idea to improvise the colors.
