I like this a lot, Chad. Perfectly composed. The contrast of the flower and the leaves is really powerful.

Chad:
You seems to be able to spot these natural arrangements of disparate elements with different textures and shapes like some Ikebana composition. The columbine is in great shape and really nicely supported by the various leaves. Beautiful.

Just wonderful vision and capture Chad. Fantastic whites, and the detail in the green supporting subjects are superb. A "10" in my book.

I really like all the textures of the leaves around the flower! This is actually quite stunning. I keep getting distracted however by the V that starts in the lower right corner...if it were cropped from the bottom/or side I think my eyes would rest!

Very nice combination of elements in a natural arrangement. The single white columbine, like a star in the sky, makes the image.

My only suggestion might be a crop from the left to remove the "holey" portion of leaf. Nice find and good job controlling the detail in the whites of the flower.
