This is a first class macro. LOve the way it fills the entire screen (and then some) The use of shadow and light is masterful. Sharpness and clarity are first class (the texture as seen on the right petals are testament to that). Would give 6th star if I had it. Kudos.

It sure is hard to get much detail in the white. Good full screen capture of the flower. The shadows seem to help a little.

This is a lovely composition that almost makes this look abstract because of the soft shadows that cover the left. The texture of the petals come through (I don't know the technical language but that part worked beautifully). I would hang this on my wall in a heartbeat.

Comment from cynnocence
The use of space and composition are excellent here. The innocence and tenderness of those wonderful white petals which encompass the yellow stamen of the flower. I love the texture of the petals, they seem waxy but sturdy. Thanks for sharing my friend. Cyn

Great picture! I love the patches of sunlight you caught. The waxy, velvet feeling of the petals is great! Great focus.
