Another gorgeous image. The colors of the fibers and the flower are lovely.

Ahhhhh, you tucked her into that protective 'arm' of the palm - lovely, Michael.

The blurry, softeness really adds to the overall composition. Such delicate textures and pastel colours. Beautiful

A continuation of your post three days ago. The tighter crop makes this an altogether different photo, and your title does it justice!

@Wolfgang - vu@granby: It is a different but similar photo, processed a little differently. Part of a 3-photo series although I don't like to string a series together sometime if the photos are too similar. many thanks, Wolfgang.
António Pires from Lisbon, Portugal
It looks like towards the end of day. Beautiful image.

Perchance to take a photo like this, it's so superb it's like an old parchment where if you're evolved enough you'll understand all the mysteries since the beginning of time...yeah that's the feeling I get...;)

@Lorraine: A fabulous feeling to have. Thanks so much, Lorraine.

A really nice composition. Or was this flower a true epiphyte?

@MadScientist: A composition only. thanks, MS.

Another mood than few days ago… maybe colder, but very nice, too.

Love the soft earth tones. The flower should seem out of place, but it seems to blend in perfectly.

To lie down and rest. To watch and to be inspired. Bravo.

such an apt title love the contrast between the sinewy palm shrouds and the flower, so creative and beautiful

Very pleasing and peaceful - also really like the warm color towards the center of the flower.
