I like the POF used in this Richard. This looks like a hard subject to get close to, and you did well.

Charming little flowers, Richard. Only suggestion I would make would be to clone the OOF white to the left of the flower. I think that would help focus attention on the flower itself.

Beautiful detail and color on these little flowers. I think there is a spider in there, too.

Love the pov in this Richard. I do agree with the others about cloning or darkening out the white element on the viewer's left. I might also have tried to get a touch of fill flash or reflected light down the flower's body. Not much needed and you might be able to just brighten it a touch in whatever software package you use. Nice capture.

Nice job of presenting this little flower in its environment. There is just enough oof bg to show off these nice blooms.
