The centered comp works well with the stem on a diagonal, the BG makes the subject pop and the light is pleasantly soft. Perhaps a bit more sharpening but two thumbs-up from me!

Hi Barb,
Colors are vibrant and the center of the flower has some nice depth produced from the curved lines. I agree with Jim that it might need a little more sharpening to bring out the small petals is all that this image needs. BG is nice and smooth.....................Jim

Very pretty, Barb. Good detail could be made better with just a skosh more sharpening. Some of the petals on the right side have a small amount of chromatic aberration, easily cured. A very solid effort, just needs a final polish.

Stunning color and clarity, Barb. Perfect against that background and the rain drops are a nice bonus.

Barb, this has a painterly feel, but the dews add the reality. Very nice!
