Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel
Really a wonderful and delicate bloom you have framed very well - I love the general green background just with these two leaves sticking out so nicely - excellent focus, clear and sharp in details on the stick formed petals - a very interesting bloom with the pistils on the top - this flower looks like a ballet dancer and you presented in perfect splendor , great color saturation, perfect contrast and lighting , a lovely general impression, well done, all the best for the contest

Great clarity and details showing in this lovely capture. Colours are great, showing different shades. The bright yellow center and green leaves show very nicely.

Comment from Zilyram
Love these flowers which have such frilly petals and the colour is different to any I have seen previously. Nicely composed with good focus and dof.

A beautiful picture of this most unusual looking Passion flower with it's string like twisted petals & gold coloured iconic pistil & stamens set in 3 D against the softly blurred background. Artistic composition beautiful lighting with superb camera techniques with sharp focus.

This beauty gets a cyber 10 rating. Beautiful details of the squiggly parts of this flower, and the focus is great. Nice background.

Wink! Tenks, Mark.

Comment from websterjames
The angle you took this shot wins mt praise. Typically many pedestrian shots of flowers at this angle lack transition space from the essence of the flower (and leaf) to the soft DOF falls short. Not the case here as you show you skill and experienced eye. Great photo

Striking high impact, beautiful, exotic and unusual-looking capture. Great color & detail of the bloom itself; nice dof/background and presentation make a fascinating view.
