:) If the image is just the way you looked at, dear friend, must give a look on me:)), what a magic glance,:))) Cause its just sooo very beautiful your "poser" red flower, with the dark background behind, she remains pretty...
And proud of its color and perfection, shows that never mind you´ve not altered the photo, her beauty stands shining and magic!!
Great shot, fra!!!

This is such a great shot. That blossom is perfect...just sharp enough and just soft enough to give us the sensual feel that flowers often do. I love the dark background...great choice, and into my flowers fave file with this little lovely

Wonderful shot. Great contrast. Love the vibrant red against the dark backgrounds, as well as the foreground sharpness versus the background blurriness.

Great shot - no manipulation which is a plus in my book. If you have to alter the shot then you didn't do your job behind the lens in my humble opinion and you did your job!!
