They are so fragile and beautiful, Jackie. They are also one of my favorites. Beautiful colors and love the variety in your picture. Like the comp of the 4 main flowers and the good focus on the middle flower. Wish the light portions of the left BG could be darker to be less distracting but sometimes we can't get what we want. One suggestion would be to crop up from the bottom to make it almost a panaromic size. This would eliminate some distractions and put more emphasis on these beautiful flowers.

Beautiful flowers. The image has a 'fresh' look. Nice colours there.
Might crop off the left half and retain just the two flowers on right... just my tastes though.

These are beautiful flowers and you did a nice job of capturing their beauty. The lighting is very nice and I like the water drops. I like Carolyn's suggestion to crop a little off the bottom. For me the partial flower in the far bottom right is distracting and I would crop just enough to eliminate that flower. It would also serve to make the 4 main blooms more prominent. I think the photo is strong as is though.

Beautiful colors and comp.!

Thanks for all thoughts and comments. I to considered cropping the bottom, but wanted some other opinions. I did not add the water droplets nor is there any ps filters used.

Good to see you posting here Jackie. I like the mood of this and the color palette. I also like Carolyn's suggestion to crop from the bottom to pano. Beautiful work.

I agree that you did a great job of capturing the beauty of these flowers. You have a good combination of softness and sharpness here, too.

Beautiful work Jackie !!

Jackie: What a delightful bunch this is. I find these tough to compose but I think you did well. Nicely done.>=))>
