Great vivid color and I like the dof a lot. I also like the echoing of the purple and yellow in each of the upper corners.

Craig:
Very strong saturated colors. Good choice of F stop and excellent stacking job. Always like your use of flash without the obvious flash effect.

Love the colors in this Craig and also the composition. I might darken the yellow center just a little to make it stand out more but purely subjective. A very fine stack and image for my tastes as posted.

Beautiful colour mix. Very nice image. I suggest a bit more space (top & bottom) and erasing the violett spot in left-top cotner. Well done Craig.

Now that pansy won't take no sass!!

I like the strong contrast within the image. For my tastes I would like a little more top and bottom room around the pansy.

This is really intense Craig. I also would like a tad more room, but killer colors.
