Simon,

You have nicely isolated these flowers from the surroundings. The backlighting provides an ideal effect for the composition.....Jim Zablotny

Just beautiful - I love the soft FG and backlighting. I think a square crop would work as well as there is such good symmetry in the subject.

Simon,

One word, PERFECTION!!! The rim light on the stems and the backlit petals are really nice.

The lighting is terrific and so is the foggy softness. Very nicely done.
