Nice shot Susanne, although I wish you had been a bit closer. Good clarity and a suitably blurred background.

Oh this is strange, because today while biking in the park I saw a man taking a picture of the same type of flower from the same angle, haha.

Good picture though!

A good shot Susanne. I think I might have cropped some of the left to draw more attention to the flower. The blurred background really works well with this one. Good post.

Beautiful, Susanne... Set against the pale green background, it remains the focal point of the image, kind of like a jewel...

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??

The composition is the master here. Adding the other flowers in the background was a great idea.
