Beautiful colors and BG Sandy, and nice ring of sepals around the stem. I wonder what a diffused flash and a little more DOF would have done for you with this one.

A very lovely portrait! Very pleasing detail and “pose”, with the BG nicely soft and analogous in color, with the greens bent toward blue. I love the composition!

Thanks, @Diane_Miller @Ed_Williams

DH (darling husband) says it looks like it’s about to barf… :slight_smile:

Hah! Could be. I thought it might be waiting to snap up an unwary insect.

This is really cool with just the one blossom, Sandy. A very elegant image.
