I like the background and the highlights on the bud. I wonder what type of flower this is - not one of those carnivorous ones I hope! It's good enough to eat!
It's the good stuff. A bit too centered for my taste... But you know me, right? ^_^ For celestial status of this work, IMHO, I would need a third stop darker exposure perhaps. But only perhaps. ^_^
ohh i like this mimi, i may have cropped it in a a bit closer if it was me, perhaps, but i love the clarity the colours the dof and the subject is wonderful and it just got a high score from me in the vb!
Mimi, I really like your subject matter and then frame it with your out of focus background.
This one is destined for my Favorites Gallery, My hard-drive and my Desktop.
