Very nice color and detail! I wonder about a little more canvas on both sides – feels a bit crowded.

So dramatic! I like the direction the light is coming from and the colors are intense, but look natural. There is something odd with the edges of everything… a mask to isolate the flower so you could darken the background? Maybe finesse those a little if you can.

Thanks to all I will darken the background as suggested by Kristen, thanks for the tip. I will also make some room as suggested by Diane.

Wayne, such a pretty color flower. I like that you included the bud too. I agree with maybe a bit more room, and a fix on the edges of the flower (showing some green in places). I am enjoying the dark veins of the bloom. Nice.

Thanks Shirley, I hope to readdress the background later, not sure why its there.
