Sanjay - Nice angled entry for the Petunia !!. The yellows in the background complement the purple well.

A touch more DOF may be..but not sure.

My first thought was the same as Ram's on this. Just a touch more dof would be nice. But, the colors are excellent!

The contrasting, attractive yellowish green bg works particularly well for the purple petunia. Very attractive combination.

Lovely colour combinations, Sanjay - like others I could wish for just a touch more dof, but this is beautifully simple in conception and, overall, very effective.

Sanjay,

Beautiful colors. I also agree that I a touch more dof would be preferable for my tastes.

It's a very fine image as posted.
