Just spectacular Ram! Great lighting and stunning detail. Very nice. The large version should not be missed. No nits, it's perfect.

Whoa. Great details Ram. I love the attitude of the bloom - tilted slightly to the left. That was great of the owner to move it for you! Nice, nice work. (Also, if you look close, you can see a face in the bloom

).
