That's beautiful, Albert. Very dreamy background... it makes the flower pop. The colors look perfect. Nice capture!

Albert - Seems to have a 3D feel to it. Love how the DOF completely envelopes all the petals.

Beautiful and very artistic capture, Albert! Wonderful colors and detail in the flower. The background almost has a painterly feel.

This wonderful bloom feels like it is coming right out of the image Albert. Great work.

Albert: At first I wasn't sure about the inclusion of the bud but the more I look at it the more I like it. Really nice complementary BG. 2 thumbs up. >=))>

Wow, that flower is "poke-in-the-eye" sharp and the gently oof background really sets it off. Very well seen and executed, Albert.
