The bent petal to expose the innards is really nice. I'm guessing that was deliberate on your part.

I honestly dont know what to say except, WOW.....
Every part of this sings perfection, the color, detail, and with the bent pedal and droplets it's a visual pleasure to take in.
Love it Sandy!

Sandy:
You are on a flora roll! Another beautifully crafted image. The bg is close enough in color to the petals and yet the flower is nicely outlined.

Love this, Sandy! The white on white gives such a light springy feel to this image. Wonderful overall comp; the lowered leaf looks natural and gives a nice peek into the flower in addition to providing some color and texture contrast.
