I think your presentation is superb. It is soft and delicate. The composition is ideal as is the overall lighting and processing.

Really gives a whole new aspect to the gaudy anemone! My favorite of your high key images, hands down!

Lightly touched w/h-key...nuanced...works wonderfully with the petal and bringing out the distinct center shapes. I don't know about the fading stem...could be a distraction that draws undo attn to the high-key...without it ..the effect would go unnoticed. In any case, this is a real beauty!!!

What a beauty! Love the soft colors and soft lighting. Wonderful details and the comp is fantastic. My only thought was to crop up a bit from the bottom so the tip of the bottom leaf is the same distance from the bottom frame, as are the edges of the top petals from the top of the frame. Just an idea. . . Love as is too--great one, Ian! :toast:

Man, this is a spectacular look. The pose is great and the high key treatment makes it singing.
