Shot around noon on a very sunny day with diffuser held right over the flower - with camera looking up towards the flower. The magnification ensured all other geraniums at the back and side produce only a lavender mist.

As always your thoughts are much appreciated.

A most delicate interpretation, Ram. The fading of the petals into the mist is a visual treat, and the sharpness of the stem and near petal adds a nice textural effect. Lovely !!
Ram, I love this photo! The background is fantastic with its soft, complementary pastels, the composition is simple and beautiful, DOF is perfect with little bits of multiple petals, leaves and the stem in focus, and those little follicles on the stem are an incredible detail!
This is really wonderful. The soft back-lighting nicely brought out the details in the petals.
Ram, it doesn't get much better than this. The combination of softness in the petal and the lavender wash with the micro detail and texture is a feast for the eyes.
Hi Ram.
... Beautifully crafted, producing a background that is in perfect harmony with the soft colors, and the fascinating detail of the geranium
