One of the early bloomers and areas cursed with it now look like they are pink/purple carpeted. It is small and difficult to get a nice angle on but fun to play with. Thanks for taking a look.

Keith: I like the unconventional comp and especially like your DOF management. The larger version is impressive. Superb shot.>=))>

Great subject/field separation Keith and fine composition as well. Love the detail. Superb work.

I'd say you got a great angle on this flower. I like the symetry of the green part of the flower and then how the pink blossoms, in contrast, go shooting out all over the place. Great detail.

Just perfectly rendered, Keith, down to the smallest detail - and I especially like the unconventional composition which focuses attention beautifully on the opening bud.

Wow Keith this has some excellent details and I like the empty space on the left. I might see what it looks like with a lighter bg but it's excellent as is.

Excellent control of bg and DOF. I can see where this would be diffcult to compose, and I think you did an excellent job!
