Great job with the exposure and comp. Outstanding detail in the flower, including the white petals. Very nice.

Beautiful work Lorna. The whites are perfect and I really like the detail captured in the center. The mood of this one appeals to me as well.

Lorna: Terrific comp and really good whites. Good call on the polarizer and I like the mystery evoked by the dark green stems in the BG. Very well done.>=))>

Lovely image, Lorna ! The whites seem spot on to me, and the flower is nicely set in the frame. Glad you did not clone out the green stems in the bg - they are strangely effective as a backdrop.
