I saw this one while walking inside the San Antonio Zoo. First time I took a shot of a yellow flower in broad daylight. I'm glad I did not blow this one up. :D Thank you very much for viewing.

    Nice one, Jiro. Always tough to shoot flowers in sunlight. You picked one with a good sun angle to highlight the texture.

    Hi Jiro, Stunning - pin sharp - especially like the shadow on the flower and DOF.

    Cheers, Richard.

    That certainly woke me up this morning. Were most zoo photos taken in broad daylight? The clarity is wonderful here....
