Craig, Lot of compositional choices available for this beautiful flower and I like this choice as well. Solid details at the center and I like that metallic texture to the petals :cool:

Striking lines involved here, Craig. I like the effect against the petals.

An unconventional placement of the center but it works as well.

Craig: A tiny bit more room on the bottom is my only suggestion. Nicely done.>=))>

Hi Craig :wavey: If it was not windy. i would have used less speed. and close the lens down a bit , for more DOF. Lovely composition and color.
