Balan: This is an exceptional image IMO. I like the BGg bokeh especially and how the bright area almost serves as a halo for the flower. My only suggestion would be to make the stuff trapped in the uplifting anthers go away. I think I would have removed it in the field but I think some careful cloning would fix it as well. 2 thumbs up! >=))>

Beautiful. The light seems to be shining through the plant. The green background provides nice contrast.

Balan, I agree with Bill on the junk in the anthers. I feel the BG might be better with less contrast, but I realize that is subjective.

I love the color and the bokeh, Balan. I sort of wish that the bottom bloom was not there, but I understand that there may not have been much that you could do about that.
