Such great color, and I like that contrast from the warm and cool colors. Really lovely.

I always appreciate your artful approach & eye for the shot Ram.
I think the DOF range is perfect here, technically flawless IMO.
Beautiful work!

PS - I should dust off my ext rings and work this angle more

Yep, 36mm ET on a 200mm is just great for this look! Marvelous shot, Ram; I think this one is my favorite of the series.

My oof fg elements usually receive negative critique. How come it works so well here? I just can't figure this part out…

P.S. Just noticed that to my eye the very tips of the spikes have a purplish hue that picks up the flower petal color. Very

I really, really like the angle on this one Ram. The angle, the DOF, and the BG works very well for me.

Great series. I liked them all. This one ranks near the top. Of the this and this images, my preference is for the second this. I did not comment on CF 4, but I liked the twin comp. It is also well done.
