Beautiful, Larry! I like the old-time presentation - reminds me a lot of the old pen and ink drawings with exquisite detail. Maybe crop just a tad off the top though...

Thanks Matt and Bill.
Bill, I left it 2x3 ratio so the customer can crop it to the size they need. Personally I agree with you, and might even crop off the bottom cluster of leaves.

A gorgeous image. I kinda' like the lower cluster of leaves.

Thanks Charles. Maybe gives a little balance?

Yes, with a little off the top, I think the lower cluster of leaves does balance things out nicely.

Larry a nice portrait of this flower. I agree with Bill a little off the top would work. I'm sure viewed larger you can see much more detail. Thanks for the posting.

Thanks Gale. When printed it will have a bit of the blank space removed. There is a larger version on my site, www.OzarksPhotos.com.

Very nice. Agree with a little off the top but leave the bottom cluster as shown! Did you use a backdrop or post processing to achieve such a nice clean background?

Some of both Lon, thanks.

Wonderful portrait Larry and the bg couldn't set off your subject better!

Thanks Wayne. Sure is nice that things work out once in a while.
