Beautiful shot Sue. Excellent composition, fine light and a really great bg for the subject IMO.

It's quite lovely.

Yes, the background works very well. And the comp. Beautiful colors.

Beautiful!
Great colors, comp, and detail.
Might benefit from a bit of noise reduction on the background.

The detail is wonderful and the bg is marvelous... the comp works very well also. Yes, this is about as fine an image I have seen of this blossom. Love it!

This has a film like feel, Sue. A minor nit for me is the OOF leaf (or whatever it is) at the base - not sure you had options to take care of it.

Nice Photo

Lovely capture Sue. Very well presented. I agree with Ram about the llc leaf. But other than that, a minor concern,
