Still beautiful and those colours are just awesome. The weather seems to be looking good over your way for you to be able to get such a beautiful image.
Oh yes, I can see where your title came from..such a delicate yellow. It is wonderfully contrasted against your soft purple bokeh background! Great capture!
That's a very nicely done flower with an absolutely beautiful background. The colors of the background and of the flower compliment one another very well. The slightly out of focus buds behind the razor sharp stamen and petals is a nice touch. Print that out and hang it on your wall.
Lovely complementary colors. I like the use of negative space. Not too busy as some flower shots can be. If I were to change anything, I might deepen the yellow tones just a smidge, but then... that might ruin the almost ethereal quality of the blossom. Just talking out loud. What the heck 10
Fantastic. Love the color and composition and the bokeh definitely enhances the subject. One thing you might think about is using selective color to shift the whites a little towards yellow so that the highlights wouldn't look that intense in the hot spots. Anyway, just a minor nitpick. As is it gets a 8 from me off the bat.
