Re: Red, White, Yellow
I usually don't comment on formal flower photographs but this is excellent, perfect exposure and great mix of pleasing tones and colours. I don't think it needs so much space at the top but it certainly does not spoil it.

Re: Red, White, Yellow
Thank you Paul, John and Binnur for your comments and feedback. Cropping a bit off the top and adding some space on the sides probably would help the image/composition.

Re: Red, White, Yellow
Really lovely image...
I found a great uncle who had disappeared from my genealogy studies for several generations appearing on the 1880 Census of Plano, Texas. He was listed as 36 years old, a widower and boarding with Thomas Moore, Farmer. I have no idea how he arrived in Plano or who his late wife was. More research is needed...

Re: Red, White, Yellow
Thank you Nandakumar, Geoff and Richard for your comments.
I hope you find out a bit more about your Uncle, Richard. I would suspect that Plano in the 1880's was just a stop on railroad (Houston and Texas Central Railway), and a day's ride by horse to the "big city" of Dallas (two days to Fort Worth). Mostly cotton farms and cattle grazing. FYI: I found the following in the Plano timeline history - In 1898 Construction of the Moore House, a hotel catering to railroad travelers at 1414 Avenue. This later becomes the Masonic Lodge. Don't know if it has anything to do with your uncle.
