Wow, Bob, this is stunning! Beautiful photo of a beautiful flower! Wonderful lighting, details, comp, colors. . . it has it all! One minor suggestion would be cloning out the OOF bud right below the flower.

Beautiful portrait! Great details in the center. Second Carolyn's suggestion about the bud. Also wish the petal edge at 8-9 o'clock is also as sharp as the other edge.

Superb, Bob ! This brings out the anemone textures as well as anything I've ever seen - not bothered at all about the bud myself. First class lighting.

Bob, beautiful light and colors.The flower center is perfectly rendered. Because the front and center of the flower are sharp, I personally would have preferred more DOF to get the rear petals sharp as well, but this is excellent as is.

Hi Bob :wavey: I'm so focused on the anenome, that the bud does not distract me, but this is subjective. Back to the flower. WOW!!!! sublime color, light and detail :toast: :toast:

Sublime detail and perfect light to show off the flower. I also really enjoy the inclusion of some of the greenery in the rlc; it anchors the flower so nicely.

Bob, this flower has a great thee-dimensional feeling. I can keep its petal between two fingers. Beautiful.
Take care.
