what a nice white flower, seems that its "fatty" aspect turns it more beautiful! the frame fits good in it :D

Lady, you did such a great job with the clearness of the middle and the softness of the rest.

You are no doubt familiar with the term, "Drop dead gorgeous"? Well that is what this is. The stark contrast between the ever so clear central portion of the flower and the soft fade of the petals is overwhelming and wonderful. Great piece of artwork, Jan!

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

Beautiful! Quite nifty how vivid the center is and how much it stands out from the white surround...and how the white seems to just fade away into the back. Lovely photograph!

Turn that c-index number upside down to make it a 90, Jan. That's what this one deserves. Wow.
