Yes, it's beautiful Albert. The red center and shades of pink are all captured very well. The pollen adds interest. I also like the little extra room on the right. The comp works well. Well done!

Albert - Nicely done. Very fine shade of pink here for the Geranium and also like the pairing of one fresh and one not so fresh to complete the composition.

While this is nice as is, I am wondering how this would look like flipped 90 Deg CCW.

One of my wife's favorite flowers, Albert. Beautiful colors and perfect dof management.

I like the simple green background for these flowers, Albert - they stand out beautifully. The colours are very rich and strong - I might desat the red just a touch but that is very much a matter of personal preference; this is lovely as is.

This simple beauty really pops, Albert, with the red against green. Very well done.

Nice comp, and the bright petals really pop against that green BG. Lots of detail in those petals.
