Such a delicate beauty, Ann! I too, especially like the lighting through the petals, and the soft pink on the edges! Gorgeous capture and presentation!
Your emerald is beautiful. The black background works very well with the framing, and the framing works so well with the photo. Your composition is outstanding, Q-Ann.
I love the delicate flower and as you say the sunshine shining through the petals. I also love the way you have presented this with the border and the blakc background. Beautiful!
