Back Yard Shots - Hibiscus #2

Getting closer to the flower, I tried hard to get the autofocus to train on the stamen at the top, but it wouldn't hold and had to settle for the yellow pollen underneath.

The shot below reminded me a little of this post, captured years ago in Taipei.  Sometimes even as I'm framing a shot in the present day a previous post will come to mind and I'll either try to duplicate or change the composition based on that image.
