Beautiful color palette Albert and I like the diagonal comp very much as well. I also like the dof decision. Very fine work Albert.

The composition feels a little bit tight to me, Albert, but the colors are gorgeous. I love the detail in the center of the flower, and the curling petals that lead us away from the center and then gently pull us back into the image along the curve. The soft background is very nice - and I love the soft light. Beautiful shot.

Albert, I will agree with Varina that the comp seems a little tight. Maybe a little more space at the bottom? But that's a minor nit and the colors, BG and diagonal comp still add up to a great image. :toast:

The most wonderful array of tones of blue and purple, Albert ! I think your title too captures the spirited movement of the petals around the centre. A most lively image !

Hi Albert! I really like your point of view on this shot. Your lighting and exposure are just right to bring out the vibrant colors. Excellent detail and I like the DOF choice too. Great job!
