Sorry about my absence, seems I find a million things to do as I get older. All the posts have been great, GOOD JOB EVERYONE.

I did find a little "ME" time today, and accomplished this.

Robert, well seen and captured. Wall to wall swirls of red and white. My only teeny tiny nit is that I wish the slightly OOF areas were sharp. That's just a preference on my part; the image works well as is.

I like the wave effect of this comp. Like Phillip, I also feel the image is slightly soft.

Nice DOF and great capture of the layers, ruffles, and edges Robert.

Well, this is wild and free and a great abstracted flower. I wish for more dof or less, but overall no real nits. Lovely and flouncy and fun.

Robert: I find red and white tough to compose together but you've done great with this. I'm OK with the DOF but I do think it needs more sharpening. Nice work. >=))>

Beautiful composition and great color Robert. I'd sharpen it some but other than that, I like it as posted.

Love the flowers and the pattern in this up-close feel.

Wonderful how you have got a truly satisfying composition out of such a mass of petals, Robert ! The quieter area in the top L and the rhythms across from L to R compliment each other beautifully. I think you've done a great job here.
