I have looked at this several times without time to review. I think this is lovely in every way. white flowers are just about my favorite to photograph...and B&W flowers are my second..to the gasp of many other flower lovers! But you have captured what I love to see in a flower in this photo. the textures in the petals and their separation making each of them important. And of course the perfect yellow stamen with just that hint of light green and the hint of green in your dark bg. Your framing is perfect...with the one bud in the lower right corner...waiting it's turn patiently with just that hint of blush. Your light and white balance are perfection as well. This truly is a framer. Well done!!!! Thank you for sharing!

I think this is an excellent presentation of the color white, and flowers :) Your exposure brings out the rich, delicate texture of these petals and the lighter hints of color in them. The details of the stamen are nice and sharp. The arrangement of the cluster is framed well too.

Lovely entry for this Contest Barbara. It's pleasing to see exposed and white balance handled so well! ;)
Your focus is sharp with a fine POV including the closed bud bottom right.
Fine work behind your lens!
Best of Luck in the contest :)

These flowers are beautiful and wonderfully detailed. The white is so pretty and soft and the detail is very nice in the stamens. Really makes me wish for spring and these gorgeous blooms.

A virtual 6 * rating for overall impact!

Excellent choice of subject with Sharply focused Fine floral features & soft velvety textures.
Controlled illumination eliminating possible blown out whites.
Aesthetically framed with no petals or buds cropped...
Ample marginal spaces throughout the frame.
Can be an impressive photo greeting card material.

Thanks for sharing...

These flowers are so pretty and cool I like the white and the just slight touch of the gray shadows. I also like tha shapes of their petals and the staymen in the center. Great job! Thank you for sharing and best of luck with this image

These small white blossoms are so beautiful, and you have pictured them so well. The dark green foliage is perfect for the flowers to stand out in the most excellent way, and the light is falling on them in such a lovely way.

Your photo is also very sharp and it is clear and well defined details to be seen both in the petals and the stamens. I also think both the exposure and white balance is perfect.

The square format you have cropped the photo is perfect and the flowers are so well placed within the frame. Indeed a beautiful and well taken photo with a very good DOF, and I wish you luck with the contest.

This is a great entry into the Flowers Photos Contest and good luck. You certainly have given this prima donna center stage. Perfectly framed and well composed shot. White flowers in the garden with its extremes of value and purity give it more power than the richest red. A stunning captured of this white crabapple tree bloom. Your light is excellent with spot on sharp focus and incredible details. Good camera skills and post-processing skill. Outstanding photography and thanks for sharing.
