Beautiful rendition of this Anemone, Gigi. The center dazzles with color and detail, while the rest of the image is sublime.

Beautifully, artistically done. The white petals on a pale blue background is a fine composiyion.

Lovely artistic portrait of this Anemone! The detail in the center is excellent and I love the white petals on the light blue bg.

Photogenic indeed! From the detailed center to the soft outer petals and baby blue BG, it is a stellar image. devil

A gorgeous image, Gigi ! The petals are indeed cloud-like against the delicately graded background, and the centre has a delightful crispness.

Hi Gigi,the thumbnail did not do this image justice at all - great exposure control and lighting to come up with this excellent finish!
