A pretty plant. A bit over-sharp in places and some of the whites are pushing the envelope. The stacking is very well done. I think the obviously minor errors are correctable, making the image a little easier on the eyes.

Had a play Phil
The only sharpening was in CZM
Dropped the whites a bit. To be honest I don,t like the repost very much.
Cheers

I don't much care for the repost either, John.  The original looks fine in the smaller version, but the white sepals did look rather garish in the larger version.  I think it was the lighting that caused it-perhaps a more diffuse light and less contrasty background would work better.  The composition is very nice and I like the angle you used.
