Robert: Welcome to the finest Flora gallery on the planet and thanks for a terrific first post here. Terrific subject and the perfect complementary BG. I like this very much as is but think I would prefer the top cropped to 4:5 ratio and then print it at least 16x20. Great to have you aboard and looking forward to more. >=))>

I like the light & shadow across the flower, it adds that 3D look Roberto.
Great detail, DOF, clarity, contrast, and overall look with that attractive sky BG.
I might consider a 4:5 comp as an alternative.
Well done!
