I noticed that our indoor Oxalis was flowering this morning so I placed it in front of the patio door, opened the blinds and took this shot. The flower is rather small... about 3/4 of an inch across the front.

Richard, it's lovely. What shocked me at first is how close this flower is to that inside a shamrock plant. Now I'm going to have to go find out if they are related!

Beautiful soft lighting and nice colors. The comp is beautiful with the way it arches from the the LRC to ULC. If I was going to get really really picky I'd say a little more detail in a few of the petals would have made it even stronger although I do like it as presented.
