Dramatic comp against the dark BG! I like the composition, but I wish there were a bit more depth. :smile:

Lucy, I really like this composition. Very interesting, it reminds me of a hand holding those petals.

A very nice BG Lucy, and some nice blooms. The DOF works well for me.

Nice image to show the beginning of spring! I like that you focused of the bud, with the open flower as a backdrop.
