I find it fascinating how some of these flowers open fully while others are more reticent as the sun rises in the late winter sky.

Another beautiful image. Perhaps a bit off the left and the bottom (to remove the yellow form bottom)? My preference is your first one, but this is a very close second.

Ian: I like this one a lot and especially appreciate your POV. I think I would not crop the yellow center part on the lower edge but rather clone it away. I like your POF and comp a bunch. Many thumbs up.>=))>

I agree with bill on the cloning, and I actually like this one better than the previous.

Beautiful image Ian! I love the comp and the POV. Very nice choice on the DOF too. I agree with Bill about cloning the yellow bloom center rather than cropping.
