 This is one of the few flowers we've gotten since the October wild fires here in San Diego. This one bloomed on Thanksgiving morning. When I saw the yellow & purple, I thought it would be perfect for this challenge.

This is a very good example of the yellow violet compliments.

The white draws more attention than the complementary colours.

nice macro- i actually wish the background was not black - it takes away some of the 'sunshine' of the shot for me

* Clears throat * RIBBON!!! :) Spectacular photograph! Not only does this perfectly meet the challenge, but it is crisp and visually appealing. I wouldn't even classify this one as a "flower shot". ;) Well done!
