I noticed a different hue on this flower compared to the others which have been posted. I added a little contrast to the petals. Comments welcomed.

The petals certainly look fine, Floyd, and I love the composition with its protective gathering of deep green leaves around the flower. Very nicely done !

Very attractive, Floyd. Well composed in very nice light. I like the textures in the petals and the subtle light glow in the center.

Lovely texture on the flower, classic comp, the light in the bell, the layers of light effect—excellent. Your best to date, IMO.

Wonderful Floyd. The sheen on the petals really comes through in your capture. Also like the dark areas in the background. Well composed and processed.
