Glad being home

In preparation for the winter, here's a glad from my home studio (table beside window). Some of the whites are a bit over the top, but does that hurt?

All C&C most welcome...

Canon 350D, 105mm macro lens, F16.
Kitchen foil used as reflector.

Very pretty. Nice detail throughout all three flowers. I like the smooth BG. It looks like you may have a little dirt on your sensor, top left of photo and top left of bottom flower. I'm not picking on the photograph, its very pretty as I said, jut thought you might want to know if you didn't already before it shows up on too many photos. (Like what happened to me.)

Excellent comp, light, and clarity. The colors are great as well, especially the green compliment at the top.

Debashis, While the whites may be off technically I don't think it hurts the photo or more importantly the aesthetics. Love the colors and the way you used the bloom to anchor the shot in the lower left.

Beautiful delicate colours, great details and lightning. The whites are OK for me. I like also the diagonal composition but that cut blossom distracts me a bit. Even thought I understand the intention why you composed it this way, I'd like to see it whole in the image.

A marvelous capture. Wonderful colors and the light is terrific. As for the whites, they are perfect for me allowing you to see the complete range of tones. Beautifully done.
