Nice shot Bill. I love the tip of the purple petal peeking out from under the white, which BTW is perfectly exposed IMO. I'm not sure I like the fly.

Bill, this is an excellent image but I'd prefer it without that fly. :wink:

Gosh, I don't know :confused: . Party crashers are always welcome in my opinion. I like this as is Bill, with or without the fly it is a very well done capture. Great job as always :toast:

I like this too Bill. Strong composition and for me the fly adds interest. It reminds me of the drawing of a fly in Suzuki's "Zen Mind Beginners Mind." It has a Zennish feel to me that I like very much.

Beautiful Bill. I really like the overlapping flowers and the fly gave me a chuckle.

I like this Bill. The uninvited guest adds interest and contrast nicely with the white.

Nice interaction between all of the parties here on this shot Bill! Happy Spring! I am looking forward to getting to the point of shooting African Daisies, but I am at least two months away from that.
