Really nice, Krunal. Great looking flower. Comp is excellent and love the BG which blends well with the colors of the flower. Well done. :toast:

Hi Krunal,

Neat composition. Gives off a fun aura, and would make a wonderful greeting card, Krunal.

Nice job,

Cheers,

Carol

I like the image. The comp and colors are very nice along with the background. I would be interested to know if this is a wild flower or a cultivated flower. I don't think I have ever seen one before.

Krunal,

I'm having a problem with this image. I've looked at it several times now and I think I know what's bothering me. It's a great bg but it seems to me that the flower itself should be sharper. It's no big deal it just looks a little odd to me. Beautiful color palette and bg.

This is a very interesting flower. Great bg. The comp is not quite working for me. I'm wishing for more space at the bottom, and wish that the bloom on the lower left were sharp

@Richard
no this is an wild flower

@Pat
i had taken this 2 yrs. bak & if i remember properly there was some element which was blocking me from getting more of the bottom of the plant (the pink flowers are actually dead & if u jus jerk the plant by a bit will fall so i cud'nt move properly without disturbing it) but i really dont remember what exactly it was
bout the front flower focus yes looking in retrospect & after learning the trick of stacking i too regreat that it gud have been much better with the front flower in tack sharpness (but i still find plenty of these flowers around in the national park but none retain the dead pink flowers like this one did :frown: )

Beautifully crisp, Krunal, the flower so well separated out from the bg. Don't see how this could be done better !

Krunal: This is just excellent! It is a new flower for me which makes it even more of a treat. Really good DOF management and BG. Many kudos. >=))>

Interesting looking plant. I like realistic colors, detail, contrasting withered and new flowers, and nicely blurred background. Very pretty!

A beautiful photo of a beautiful flower, Krunaj. The splendid background makes alive the faded or almost faded flowers. The leaves are just so beautiful as the flowers. I love this image very much.
Thanks for sharing these beauties of the nature.
Take care.

I like the repeating patterns of the leaves on the stem, the flowers themselves and the background colors. It is always nice to see a new flower and an unusual composition. :wavey:
