I really like the heart shaped petals, well exposed whites with nice detail Barb
Also like the close, nearly square comp, works well for this subject.
Great BG, well done!

Barb - Great processing to highlight just the four petals really sharp. Nice exposure that highlights all the details in the petals

Really nice, Barb ! Love the composition and the pattern the petals make against the leaves. This beautifully captures the feel of the dogwood flower, which I always think is rather formal, almost heraldic in character.

Hi Barb

I like the symmetry in this composition.. the detail and colors are breathtaking. agree with Ian about the heraldic character of the flower

Beautiful composition Barb. Almost an abstract image for its geometrical semplicity and cleaness.
Take care.
