Somehow my late afternoon golden glow got lost in translation....revised image which attempts to recapture the radiant atmosphere.

Nikon D500 and Sigma 150mm macro.

Have a great WE folks.

Have a great WE yourself.

Fine image, love the flower. Looks somewhat like the North American shooting star (Dodecatheon meadia) in the primrose family.

The European dogtooth violet (Erythonium dens-canis) is a member of the Liliaceae, and not as its name suggests, to the Violet family.
They are very early bloomers in the warmer parts of Switzerland, and found mainly in the southern border with Italy.

Would love to see your shooting star once as well.

Pretty play of light and shadow on this flower. Not so keen on the white in the background, but still a lovely image.

Thanks for the comments and feedback.
Somehow my late afternoon golden glow in the background got lost during translation to the web.

Much richer colours that provide an intensity different from the softer version.  Very well done.  As Carol said, a must click on to enjoy the subtle variations of colour and detail.
Make your life spectacular!
