Beautiful lines and textures here!
Nice DOF, very sharp, and good comp -
A couple of the inner petals (the ones at 12 o'clock, 1, and 3) are pretty hot, and you've lost some detail there, but it should be easy to bring them down a bit if you wish to.
Very well-done!

Wonderful sharp detail here, not only throughout the flower but even in the soft delicate petals. The lines and curves of the petals really create an elegant image. Well done.

Absolutely, fantastically beautiful. I suspect that the hotness on the petals is caused by conversion and compression for the web - but your histogram will tell you if you have a problem with your original, large-size file. This shot just makes me want to keep on looking. The details, the curling petals bringing us back to the center each time our eyes stray, the rich details and smooth colors. And the light. Just breathtakingly beautiful. I love it, Richard.

Fantastic details color and light makes this an out standing shot. I also like the fact that the exposure is near perfect....not a easy task considering the image has so much white area in it. Good work.

What do I like in this image? Wow! I love the yellow creams, the green and the glow from the back. Really like the sharpness and how it contrasts with the softness around the outer edges. Very lovely!
