Barb:
Lots to like about this image. The bloom is near perfect and the low angle lighting makes a nice soft shadow. The bg in just blurred enough so as not to be distracting. The only suggestion I have is perhaps clone out the few small blemish on the petal to make this even stronger.

Beautiful shot! I like how the flower is nicely isolated from the background...and the way the leaves are distinguishable but not distracting.

Beautiful. The contrast between orange and green sets main subject and background well apart. Ideal crafting. The dof is right on for the flower. Nice & crisp, but yet, still "flowery."

I love the color of these flowers and had them in my garden often from year to year. This is a real beauty with a complimentary background and fine use of light and comp.

Beautiful, Barb ! A crisp rendering of the centre and petals and great isolation of the flower.
