Nice job with a soft and delicate feel of these two blooms.

Lovely colors and comp, Albert. It is probably my OC speaking, but I wish that both blossoms were in sharp detail. :biggrin:

Beautiful, Albert. Excellent dof management to get both centers sharp while maintaining a complementary soft bg. :toast:

Albert: One of my favorite large prints in our house is of a similar pair of osteospermum. Beautifully captured image.>=))>

The jewelled effect of the centres is extraordinarily beautiful, Albert ! Like Phil, I could just wish for both blooms perhaps to be sharp throughout, but that is a minor and subjective point - very lovely image !

Albert, a splendid portrait of my favorite models. The contrast with the background enhances the flowers. Beautiful!
Take care.
