The color of the foreground flower really stands out from the dark background and the flower in the upper left balances the image.

Sweet, sharp, main subject flower. Though the composition is different, it works so well.

This is one where the thumbnail doesn't do it justice, and the larger the view the more beautiful you can see that the image is. Beautiful contrast in light and dark, beautiful colors.

Bill:
Diagonally opposites, One sharp one blur, on up one down, one left one right... an interesting image. Like the dark bg and the details on the main bloom is fabulous.

Nice juxtaposition of elements and great color. That flower in focus is nothing short of compelling. :toast:
