Its always nice to shoot into a large group of blooms. That is what I did, selecting just one though.

ND300s, AFD200mm F/4 Micronikkor @ F/8, 1/320 Sec, ISO400, Diffuser and Tripod.

Thanks a lot for your comments on Hibiscus Bud Swirls and let me know what you think of this one.

Nice one, Ram. The curves of the petals carry this one for me.

Great job of isolating this bloom in the sea of yellow. I like the pof and sweeping petal. A beautiful image, Ram. :toast:

I like the intimate view. Excellent choice of pof with the narrow dof. Beautiful color, too.

Ram:

I have been back to this several times. The composition and the yellow wash is beautiful of course but it is not resonating with me like your other images of this genre. Wish the sharp bright yellow line around 8 o'clock of the center of the flower is not partly disrupted by a small blur spot.

Just superb, Ram ! Wonderful composition - the touch of sharpness at the edge of the flower centre is so sweet, and the colour gorgeous.
