Gorgeous shot Ian. I especially like the treatment of the whites. I find the subtle contrast very appealing. Well done. :toast:

Soft and lovely, Ian. I like how the white petals furthest away from the lens fade into the background. Beautiful stacking.

Regards,

Carol

My favorite flower with a different dress. The angle is excellent, Ian.
It seems to me that there is something in contrast between the normal exposed stamens and the rest of the photos unsaturated and almost High-Key. May be more contrast and more light for a real HK?
Take care.

Hi Ian :wavey: The contrast between the sharp yellow disc, and the soft petals, works wonderfully well with me :eek: Superb artistic work :toast:

Ian:
Lovely composition. LIke the POV and the white petals on white bg. :toast:

I can see what Gigi is eluding to and may be interesting to see the white little whiter.
