Philip - The Group looks to be in great condition - love the vibrancy to the pinks there. No suggestions from me except the small tear in the leaf which can be considered for some repair in Photoshop.

Excellent, Philip ! The purples are beautifully controlled, and the composition ( how rare to be able to speak of composition with rhododendrons !!! ) extremely satisfying.
