Excellent POV, Bill. That center column is really cool. I wonder how this would look if you could get the oof foreground petals really blurred like a cram?

Excellent, Bill. I like the comp, dof managment, and the low angle showing the flower against the darker bg. Well done.

I like all of this very much—especially the sharp reproductive parts—with the exception of the blurred foreground petals. You could probably have worked out a manual stack from a closer focal point, with a good "cut and paste".

Bill I love the details of the center and the warm colors. Just for me: I don't love the softness in the front of the subject. In these cases I manually merge in the PS levels a shot with a detailed front if I was provident in the shooting phase. Anyways it is an excellent photo.
