Dave:
Fabulous. Nice capture of details and colors in this flower. Like the inclusion of the past prime bloom on the left. Both fg blooms are very strong elements but I am not sure about the stem and leaf poking out of the upper petal...they seem to draw the eyes away a little. I will probably darken or even consider cloning them out if you have not issue with that.

Superb detail Dave. I agree with Gary about the stem and leaf. Excellent capture and a fine presentation. I also like the mood of this.

The details in the prime bloom are amazing. The past prime bloom tells an interesting story, but I have mixed feelings about it. I would love to see that prime bloom by itself in a square frame and you could leave in the leaves for my tastes.
