    Forgetting the fact that this flower is rare, the great composition makes this pic a masterpiece in its own right.
    really like the placement of the flowers among the foliage and sand, a good crop makes all the difference...

    Thanks 'Silent Moments' for commenting on composition of above picture:).Actually I hardly consider composition of a picture while posting on this blog since main purpose is not pictorial photography but to make awareness of our wild heritage.:)
