Nice image of azalea. You must have a very dry night, no sign of morning dew water. Nicely done Bob.

The richness of color is wonderful and the dark bg kinda sucks you into the image. Nice

Beautiful rich color Bob. I like the aperture decision and I particularly like the dark bg for these colors. Nothing wrong with the leaves either. (smile) A very fine image for my tastes Bob. Sorry but no suggestions.

Bob:
Vivid colors! I love the colors of azaleas and like taking them more as a landscape type shot. I find azalea difficult to compose up close but you have done this nicely here. The leaf in the RLC looks speckled - is this some sort of an artefact of processing? ( I thought it was your logo at first).

Bob, Always seen these flowers in White/Pink/Red kind of color - never in Yellow. So this is a first for me :cool: . Great light, grouping and depth of field to cover the whole bunch. I also like how the blooms are framing the buds in the center.

Lush, rich colour, Bob, with a nice variation in yellow tones. These are so difficult to compose but I think this works well with just a glimpse of the leaves in the bg.
