Lovely Jack, really lovely. A golden light caressing those wonderful velvet and purple petals... Your DOF is nice too, not too strong, to give us the opportunity to distinguish those great two suns in the background... exquisite light indeed and a clever composition with this vertical crop.

Great colours and details. I like how you've captured the velvety texture of the lupines. And the contrast of that deep purple with the bright yellow is amazing.
