Wow, Albert. Drop dead gorgeous! I love the classic comp, the detail, and the center. Personally, I would clone out the couple of spots (I see one at the far edge at 10:00 and another at 3:30). With an image as beautiful as this, I'd go for perfection. :toast: :jump:

Very nice image Albert. The center is spectacular and there is great detail over all. Just gorgeous. Very well done!

P.S: Agree with Scott about cloning out the few spots to make it perfect.

This is over the top! Can't take my eyes off the center of this flower, where there is so much of interest. Colors couldn't be better along with the fine detail. Big kudos, Albert!
