The pinks in this image are fantastic. I can't take my eyes off them. Wonderful composition too. The red rose gives a good balance. If there was one thing to suggest, I'd say it would be to eliminate some of the black abyss top & bottom, making the image more panoramic.

Killer image for my tastes Phil. One of my favorites of yours. In fact I don't think it gets any better than this.

Expertly done, Phil ! I love the oval composition, and the lighting and detail are both first class.
