Gladiolus in Fire...

Now this was nearly impossible to photograph without having a whole lot of problems with my camera - only photoshop saved it partially... must be that red which is simply incredible...

Funnily I did not use a starfilter in the second shot - the reflection of the little water puddle that was in the bloom appeared by itself...
