Spectacular set of curves...very sensuous. The large dof is a big help here.

Albert - Well seen. Really like your focus on the curled tip of the Easter Lily Petal

. I also like how the other petal edges/ridges frame the main curl.

Great capture and well done with the shading and light to emphasize the curl.

Lovely rhythms here, Albert ! The position of the curl is just right to yield a fine composition.

Love the angle on this and all the nice curves. Great lighting that emphasizes that one main curve and nice handling of the whites. Beautiful and delicate, Albert!

Yes, I like! Lots of lines and curves here, Albert. So, even more do I like, when it's cropped in from the left, close to the arch of the curve of the main petal. It makes it just enough less confusing to make it altogether more pleasing.... at least for me.

Those are some nice curves Albert, and I like how the other petals frame this one so nicely. Beautiful light and detail.

Great detail shot Albert. I really like the lines and the light. A very expertly seen snippet of a full shot.

Albert: This is a superb shot and very well seen as is. The comp is faultless and one of your best. This would be a little better for me with a touch more brightness/contrast but overall this is an exceptional shot.>=))>
