Barbara: Perhaps your best Flora shot to date IMO. Brilliant comp and superb DOF and plane of focus management. 2+ thumbs up!

Beautifully done Barbara. Excellent subject isolation, fine composition and delicate wash on the grass. Very fine photography for my tastes.

Looks great, Barbara! The focus is excellent and that bg is perfect for this image! I may brighten it up just a little so the whites are a little whiter. Well done!

Lovely! Nice colors and great comp !
Not sure about that diagonal grass - might have been better without it.
Don't be afraid to take the time to really look at a shot thru the viewfinder, before you hit the shutter. Trimming errant twigs, strems, and general cleanup may be needed. Then, look at the flower from all angles and with different comps. Take lots of images from different angles.
You've done some of this here, clearly.
Good work!
Sandy

This is excellent. Simple with good focus, and pov. Not a single wasted element, everything in this image adds to its impact. Very nicely done
