Technically excellent, visually attractive, and commercially valuable.

It's a good looking photo, Alan. The flower looks a bit bitten, and that's why it's better to spray flowers to photograph, if that's not against your way of doing photography.

Cheers,
Marko

This is first class technically and aesthetically - just a pity some of the petals are turning brown near the centre

Thanks for the comments

As for the colour on the petals(looks like a bit of dirt in the rain drops), well thats nature.I take the shot as i see it.And IMO it adds to the shot anyway.

But as i've said in the past, each person has they're own way of looking at what a shot "should" look like, or would want it to look like

.So thats cool.

Thats a really smart looking image Alan.
No problem with the petals. IMO it adds to the whole effect.
