Beautiful. Excellent processing. I’m being super nit-picky, but I would clone out the light spot on top of the stem where it enters the frame.

John: Beautiful presentation with the lone flower and the buds against a marvelous BG. Really nicely processed and presented as well. Most excellent. >=))>

This is a beautiful composition, John. I really love the array of buds and leaves and how they frame the flower. The little bit of curve to the lower petal and right petal that goes out of focus does nag at my eye a bit. Maybe a slightly smaller aperture to get just a bit more depth of field? I wouldn’t want too much, because I like the way everything fades into the background.

Thanks to all. cloned out the stem spot, did not see that Michael, thanks. Will have to remember to experiment with the f stop on my macro shots. Thanks again,
