Pretty little grouping. I do wish the light was not so harsh on the one petal on the left...not sure if you can tone that down at all?
You somehow managed to get all three front flower stamens in focus!

Albert: I really like how you arranged these in the frame and your plane of focus management. I can see Eirini's comment about the light but I like this kind of light. Well done. >=))>

Well done Albert! A nice group in a shallow DOF, with an excellent plane of focus. I agree with Bill on the light. Breaks the monotony!

Just lovely, Albert! I really like the low POV in this shot. Good focal plane management to get the stamens of the three front flowers in focus. The DOF choice works well to gradually blur the flowers into a nicely blurred background. I like the lighting personally. The front flower looks like it is leaning towards the sun. . . and the more the sun reaches each flower, the more it leans.

A splendid image, vanishing in the fog. The diagonal composition and the blur create a pleasant depth. I love the photo, Albert.
Take care.

I think I like this even better than the last, Albert. The flowers show up so beautifully against the grey area at the top L, as if they are emerging from the mist. Very lovely image !!

I really like the diagonal placement in the frame Albert. The light and color are great also. A nice little grouping.
