Very pretty Bob. The main bloom is in great shape, and I love the depth and sharpness. I think for me, I would not mind it cropped to square to lose a touch of greenery at the top.

Good colors and textures, the light/dark, soft/rough adds tension to the image and IMO increases its appeal. Nicely done

Excellent work. The yellow really pops but holds its detail. Nicely done.

This is just so beautiful, Bob ! The primula seems to float among the leaves, and the bud sets it off to perfection. The lighting is perhaps the key to a really fine image.

Very nice composition, lighting, and overall "effect" you've achieved here. Very likable shot.

Beautiful image Bob. Great light, color and texture. The only thing I might consider doing is darkening the largest veins a bit. Love the bud.

Oh Yeah. I like the comp and the details are very nice. Normally I'm not a big fan of bg's with much details but this works very well. :toast:
