A good looking image presented here into the competition! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us a very enjoyable view of that beautiful bloom. Textures, tones and detail are fine. Well done and good luck!

This is a stunning capture of the dianthus! These are such wonderful flowers because they add such a pop of color to a garden.

This is so well photographed with spot on focus, this image is sharp and clear and your exposure is perfect! You have brought out such well defined detail over this lovely dianthus. It is well placed within the square frame and standing out beautifully from the natural background .
The colors and tones appear natural, .
Well presented! I wish I had a six to award this! Very best wishes to you in this contest! This will be difficult to beat!
