They definitely are photogenic blooms. Great macro.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

Great shot of this bloom about to blossom, but the grey part in the background right bothers me a bit. I can't quite put it into the plant presentation itself.

My comments are always made from the heart with honesty and the utmost respect for the artist whose work I am commenting on. If I make suggestions, I wish them to only be taken in the sense that I want to be helpful and not harmful in any way. If I praise your work, I mean every word.

just gorgeous. the gray part seems to soften the color tones and yet make them richer. the sharpness of the petals is so nice. the presentation is rather exquisite.

A very nicely composed shot.

The pastel colors of the bloom combined with the soft focus background make this a warm and appealing study. A lesson in classical elegance.
