Gaillardia Petal with Droplets

A gaillardia petal arcs across the right side of the plant's dark seed head. The petal shows a deep red base that fades to bright yellow at the tip, lit by soft, diffused light and photographed with a very shallow depth of field; the background is a blurred mix of green and mauve. A line of small dew droplets clings to the outer edge of the petal.
