Great colors and nice control of DOF and it really pops on the complimentary background. Well done Monica.

Very pretty flowers and you did a great job with the DOF and lighting. The background works really well with it too. Nice shot!

I really like this image. The background really sets the blue of the flowers off. The dof and comp are great. Very fine photo.

The "three dimensional look" combined with the colors and detail are really great here, Monica. I also much appreciate the beautiful comp that you've selected. :toast:

Nice soft BG that compliments, just the right amount of space & placement in your comp. Great detail, color, DOF, & exposure Monica.
Like the grouping of 3, & you know what they say..Three's Company :wink:

Wondeful color in the flowers and the background. The lighting really allows the colors to pop, too. Very well done.

Don't know how I missed this - congrats on the EP - just beautiful!
The blues and detail are excellent, and the BG sets them off perfectly.
