John: This is wonderful. Beautiful flowers and really good DOF control. I might crop from the top and right to eliminate some of the BG. >=))>

John - Really like the contrast in the blooms made possible by those reddish veins in the petals. DOF is plenty but would suggest looking at other cropping options if available.

Yeah this is a winner ...orange and whimsical. Seems to be a few suggested ideas to deal with the b/g... not sure ...it does not compliment the subject as much as I would like. But I am void of ideas except to move the cactus...

Lovely capture. The dof is excellent and I love the detail throughout.

Really nice image, John ! Love the detail in this and the delicate colour harmonies - it's beautifully composed too.
