Walt: Welcome to NPN and to the finest Flora gallery on the planet. Really nice first post with wonderful center details and color palette. My only tiny 1¢ nit is the small blade of grass on the right side protruding up past the petal. I think that would be a pretty easy clone job and would make an already strong image even better. Great to have you aboard and looking forward to more.>=))>

This is really good close-up view of the the flower. I like the OOF vertical blue/white pattern of the petal framing the stamen. Agree with Bill about cloning or cropping the leaf on the far right. Well done
