Albert - Splendid :toast: - plane of focus is perfectly aligned to the face of the flower and great use of complementary colors in the background.

Looks great, Albert. The buttercup is wonderfully sharp and the background adds some fine, gentle color contrast. Well done.

Lovely texture and color. The oof purple is a nice complement. Simple, but strong composition. :smile:

The larger version is splendid Albert. It is not easy to take a decent photo of this flower for the glossy and very vivid yellow, but you made an excellent work. Bravo!
Take care.

There's your signature work, Albert! Love it! What a beautiful shot-- so much clarity in the buttercup, backed by the soft pink. I also like that it isn't hanging in mid-air without its stem...
Congrats on the Pick!
