Very nice Ian! I like the square crop to the frame, and the top-down view works really well for me. Great color and nice high key background.

Ian - Superb presentation for the Gerbera - a Mandala for sure. Love how the deep reds stand out due to the pink petals surrounding them. Lovely radiating effect on a high key background.

This is stunning, Ian! The light background really shows off the wonderful colors and details in this flower. This is a true work of art both by the Designer and the photographer!

Ian,
a wonderful shot with excelently colors are well saturated in great light. Very good focusing with nice details and perfect contrast to white BG. I like the symmerical square format. Nicely done.

Ian:
Except of the white bg this reminds me a lot of a scan image. The square frame goes well with the radial symmetry of the flower. The color is just perfectly rendered. Fabulous image!
Two very minor nits - there is still a little smudge where the stem was and you might want to run the heal brush over the crease near the end of the 5 o'clock petal.

Striking photo. I like the square crop. Looks like a good job in stacking. Should be great printed and framed.
