I like the composition. The colors in the flower are handled well and stand out against the green background.

Beautiful - great pinks contrasting perfectly with the BG.
Tack-sharp and good perspective.
Very fine work!

A beautiful picture of a lovely flower. The colors are a little cool on my monitor, but I like them that way for this flower. Good work! devil

Barb: One of your best IMO and very well presented. Something you might play with is flipping this 180° horizontally. As presented this flower is "facing" left but culturally we tend to look at things more comfortably if they are looking right or oriented in a left to right flow. I don't think flipping would make this a better image necessarily but an alternative you might explore.>=))>

An excellent floral photo Barb, very sharp and full of details. I am glad that you left the pollen on the petals. I am not able to see any flaw.
