I think you were successful Bill - very fine geometry. Of the two, I prefer this one. Strong comp and a beautiful color wash and palette throughout the image.

I like the orientation and focus here! It has the same great colors as #4, but has more impact for me. I am enjoying this entire body of work very much!

Don't stop by often, but this is hard to resist. Takes flora to a new realm. Nicely done.

The colors and the lines are just beautiful.

Another beauty, Bill, maybe even nicer than your last because of the way the light catches the leaf edge to give contrast with the misty pinks. Lovely image !!

Bill, I prefer this one to the last. The more defined structure and colour palette appeal to my tastes.

Of the last two I like this one better Bill, but it's not as powerful as the the first two in the series. Still it's a very nice image. The color palette is outstanding and is graced by beautiful floral light. Hard to top the first two though. Well done.

Bill:
This one has more structure with lovely lines and is stronger that the last one. I might be tempted to tone down the bright white area near the left border to give this a more even tone and lighting.

Add me to the list of those that prefer this one to the last. Both are good, this one is better. The composition feels more cohesive to me and the tulip leaf forms have a stronger presence.
