Lovely composition, Catherine, with that nice echoing flower. Gorgeous colour and textures, and excellent sharpness in the anthers make for a delightful image !!

Couldn't ask for better comp: lower right third for the main blossom, diagonal to the upper left fading to OOF secondary blossom. Aside from that, the colors are vivid and the detail is exquisite. :toast:

Beautiful job getting the main subject so completely in focus, Catherine, and I love the bg. I like the echo of the second bloom, but I do find it a little too much. I find myself wishing it were a bit more oof or subdued. I think if this were mine, that I'd try a bit of desaturation or blur or both on the second bloom, but that's just me.

Sweet image regardless.

The colors here are great as is the detail in the front bloom, Catherine, and I sure like that the background is not uniformly black plus the repeated oof echo in the background.

Really nice Catherine. I think that the BG is dark enough to set off the flowers, and to not compete with them either. The colors and sharpness are very nice.
