Barb: Nice choices of ISO and SS to deal with the wind and just a superb capture and presentation. Love the center details and the whites and petal textures. Most excellent>=))>

Ahh those windy days - I know what you mean. I think that you managed the conditions very well. I would perhaps darken the background a bit, as in your Hellebore of a few days ago, but that is just a personal taste, it also works as is.

I agree with Bill, Barb. I like the management of the whites against the bg and the detail in the center. Classically composed. These are difficult subjects in the wind, but this came out beautifully.

Beautifully done. Good as is, but a hindsight wonder—would a higher camera position have rendered a little more detail on the OOF petal?

Good idea, Phil. I'm going to try a higher camera position next time I'm in a similar situation.

Photographing white flowers is always a challenge. You handled it well.

Very lovely Barb! Excellent handling of both the wind and the light. The details are very good, especially for a windy day.
