A great perspective with the flower well placed and the additional plant details in the pleasantly soft background. Nice focus on the stamens. Very good color palette.

This is one super image..Technically an excellent shot but it is the composition that is so appealing in this work.The design of the flower itself is so strong..this has an almost minimalist quality. The lighting and colours are subtle yet very effective. Beautiful image!!

This is a beautiful shot of the flower. You have framed it well. Light and sharpness are very effective in creating a lovely capture. Good effort!

Beautiful. Looks like in the family of lilies, but the stamen is really different. You've captured its freshness. A pretty unique color like lime and the stamen are yellow. High five on the framing and presentation. Well captured.

Very unusual colour for a flower. Whatever it is, you captured it well, showing great clarity, well framed .

Comment from Sange
Lovely Mary! Very nice capture on this mellow yellow lady.
Nice focus and fine details exposure.
I may have de-saturated and smoothed out the background a bit, but a fine capture it is!
Nice!

A lovely delicate green flower, with stamen bursting from it like a yellow and green firework. Clear image, with good DOF.

Lovely close up of this pretty green flower - looks a bit like a kind of Lily. I like the angle you used for this, filling the frame.

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