Blithe - is our featured photographer on the DPNow Picture of the Day this Thursday. Flowers have featured a lot on the POTD recently - sorry about that! But this is a lesson in how to produce an excellent study of a flower. The use of a dark background allows the eye to concentrate on the features of the flower. The rich colour of the petals is offset nicely by the vibrant yellow of the anthers and stamens in the centre. Blithe has produced an image that lets the full beauty of this flower show through. I'd certainly like to know what kind of flower this is.

The gallery facility here is completely free; all you need to do is register as a user on our discussion forum and you will get an automatic 25MB of space, which is good for around 125 pictures uploaded at web resolution, about 200K per picture. At the time of writing we had just under 13,000 pictures on the galleries and it's well worth a browse.

Our ultimate accolade, the DPNow Golden Gallery, is reserved for what we feel are the very finest images. We invite anyone to submit their pictures for inclusion in the Golden Gallery. Why not have a look at the Golden Gallery submission form? The vast majority are usually rejected, which is why we feel that the ones we do feature are extra special.
