Taken at Mimuro Toji, Uji, Japan.
One of my friends said that the two ladies in the background are a distraction. I, on the other hand, kind of like them being there. What is your opinion?

@allyy`*: Yeah, I should post another up with them edited out! Problem is that I have no time to do it!
Yeah, I can see her point, but I agree with you. I like them there.

@travelingrant: Thank you!
extraordinary colour. love the composition with the ladies in the background - they are an initial distraction but set up an wonderful context for this pristine bloom

@simon: Thank you simon!
Fantastic colors and i like the prespective here. Very nicely done. You should have waited a little, for the elderly ladies in the background to pass by. They seem to have kacau'ed the background a bit. ;-) Patience my freind patience LOL!!!!

@Rahul: Haha...actually I was focusing on the flower and the leaf and saw the ladies just moments before taking the picture. But I liked it, so I decided the picture should stay :)
hmmm i think either wait for them to pass or shoot earlier with their faces so it's sth like a contrast of different kinds of beauty.
nevertheless, i m still so envious of the pictures u take... pretty shots~

@rissa: True, with their faces being in there, it would work too!
forget to add... I LOVE "HIDDEN"!!!! :)

@Walt: Thank you Walt!

@HorseRotorVator: Thank you! Yeah, it does bring "life" to it :)
I like it just how it is. The ladies bring colour and balance to the composition. They assist in making this shot 'a photograph' rather than 'a study' of a flower.
I am really impressed with this series. I did not know a lous had so many species and different coloured blooms! Thanks for educating me.

@Helen: Thank you Helen for your view on the photo! There are indeed many different species and colours. I personally love the pink and purple ones :)
Wow! Awesome colors on this! I love how vibrant that green is! =-)
