Albert:
Very nice detail especially the yellow and green center. Like the well exposed radiating white petals. Top notch.

Very nice. Love the depth and texture of the petals, which remind me of flowing white robes.

As everyone has said the whites are just first rate. I also love the comp. I hate to be too critical of this lovely image, but I do wish the yellows were a bit brighter.

Wonderful comp Albert. The positioning of the center on the third works great with nice white radiating lines.
How do you like the 50mm?

Beautiful Albert. I tried a comp like this with a similar flower and couldn't hit the right dof, but you've really nailed it here. Great job.

Brilliant, Albert !! Wonderful composition and a striking contrast between the whites and the dark core of the flower, where the yellows and greens are just right. Great image !!

Very nice capture using your new "toy" Albert. The image has a moody quality to it, a dark side feel to it. I like it. All lines lead to the disk. Very well done.
