Sandy,
I like the nice soft dreamy look to this image. I also like how you filled the frame with color.
Nicely done.

This feels almost alive, like curious tentacles searching for the light. Beautiful color and layers of petals.

Nice! I like the way you made the center of the flower the focal point. . .it has such interesting elements to explore. The beautiful pink wavy petals form a nice frame for the center. Just curious . . . what is the flower?

Beautiful image, Sandy. Really an interesting and beautiful flower (and I have no idea what it is), and I like the comp very much.

Wow...this is really beautiful! I wonder why you didn't post it in Flora! I have not seen the pink version like this....I love the soft lighting as well as the way you chose to frame it!

Eirini Pajak has a great image of the white version in Flora.
