This is gorgeous

My only wish is, that I long to see the whole flower

This is lovely, especially the three phases of the blossom being held by the larger leaf. Nice colors too.

The selective DOF is beautiful. Great depth, a special color contrasting with the background. I love the image.
Take care.

I'm a little late coming to this, Sandipan, but I like this very much. The combination of detail and blurriness resulting from the shallow DOF is eye-catching. The colors are not flashy, but very complementary. A fine work!

Wonderful elements captured Sandipan. I like the light and shadow you've shown.

What an interesting look at this flower! I really like the close-up look at the three little flowers (in three stages of growth) snuggled inside the larger leaf (?). This flower looks familar but I'm not sure exactly what it is, so a name would be helpful for viewers like me.

Great comp and background. Beautifully done!

Sandipan: This is excellent. I especially like the varied stages of the flowerets and your DOF management. This is a difficult flower for me and you've done really well. 2 thumbs up! >=))>

nice perspective here - sweet colours and the different stages of open blooms is great.
Congrats on the WP!
