beautiful image. so clear is the flower.

I like the overall soft feel to the photo. While the detail is crisp and clean on the flower itself. Green background enhances.

You got the flower to POP! I think the hint of the road in the upper left corner adds to the overall image.

The essence of a good flower picture, to me, is that the photographer has thought about the background of that image. I'm tired of seeing beautiful flowers with out-of-focus garden hoses in the background. This is well done, but I MIGHT have moved a bit to get just the foliage and eliminate the road--only my amateur opinion.

well, actually i had the foliage or at least more of it! but don t really like squared pictures or so, except in some rare cases when it works( generally not to say every time those are photos you just can t cropp at all cause you loose too much) i felt on this one i should keep a part of it but not too much , so i cropped it a little..

lovely flower capture , well done
