Great clarity David! The sharpness of the whole flower - especially the ribbing around the opening is absolutely great. Love the muted background too. If I had to pick a minor nit it would be that the yellow spot rhs is a tiny bit distracting. But I think the sharpness of the flower is enough to draw and keep one's eye.

Lovely. Oh and the delicate stem adds wonderful intrigue too!

Great job catching the fine detail around the rim of the pitcher, the lighting and b/g are perfect. BTW these aren't flowers, actually modified leaves.
