Very pretty! Love the color, so dainty and delicate. Soft focus with clear shot on the petals. It is indeed perfectly shaped, beautiful flower.

This is a perfect bloom. The petals all lay perfect plus the colour is an unusual shade. What type of flower is it

Excellent close up of this beautiful pink camellia. I like the angle you used, showing the intricate patterns of the petals very well.

Lighting and focus very good showing excellent clarity. Very nice composition. Suzanne

The colour and exposure in this image are stunning. The focus and DOF are spot on with great bokeh background. Beautiful placement in the frame, good perspective and great technique. Awesome image. Good job.

A beautiful shot and I like how you have included parts of the surrounding blooms. Great illumination, cocus and detail. Thanks for sharing Fred.

Great title consistent with the image. Love the various shades of pink. Very defined layers and thick textures. Depth of focus. Well captured and a refreshing sight.

Such beautiful color. Perfect contrast and depth of field. Very well framed. Now that snow has departed us, looking forward to seeing such beauties here in Mi.
