Hi bill

I really like the 'intimacy' in this shot...it's almost sensual.

Exceptional image and composition Bill. I also like the colors and the sheen but it's the comp that drives this one home for me. Beautiful work.

Bill, I like this for the multitude of diagonals, curves and wonderful texture in the petals. Of course the contrast of color is nice too.
