Nice colors, cram effect, and shape to the main flower bloom Wayne. I would try to soften the effect of the triangular shape in the top right of the frame.

Thanks for your input, Nathan. I left the triangular shape in an attempt to anchor the otherwise floating background, and also because I felt it connected with the triangular petal shapes. Be interesting to see what others think as well.

Great image, Wayne. I like the POF and the great complementary colors. I have no problem with the URC but I might darken the lighter green area in the LRC. No biggie, though. Looks good to me as is.

Like the title, Wayne as well as the subject flower. It's strictly my opinion but I would eliminate the bottom OOF flowers. I think they distract the eye from the subject.

Others may have different opinions.

Regards,

Carol

Nice work there to blur the forward looking petals sufficiently, Wayne :cool: . Great color, POF and I also like the yellows peeking through the pink petals

Wayne:
Nice color palette. Like the composition. Also agree with Nathan about the RUC.

Wayne: I love the peek into the center and the color palette especially. Really nice POV and DOF management. Top notch. >=))>
