Superb detail, excellent control of dof, brilliant whites, great pov and a strong symmetrical composition that's well suited to the subject. Beautiful work. My only suggestion would be to clone out the one yellow anther blocking the green seed head?

Very lovely, soft treatment again, Yun. The fading of the petal edges into the ` clouds ' surrounding them is a visual delight. You could clone that single anther but, personally, I feel it adds something somehow.

Well done, Yun. The white on white works very well.

Excellent point of focus, and nice DOF. The whites are handled very well. I can see Pat's point about the seed head, but the DOF is such that it is not an imperative change for me.

Yun - Wonderfully well done. I love the milkiness all around the bloom. Lovely handling of the whites and pretty nice sharpness where it matters.

Cannot think of anything much that can better this shot :toast:

The yellows and greens in the flowers center really sing against the variety of whites here Yun. It might be worth dodging the darker area at the bottom center, but this is very striking as presented.
