This is such an excellent painting, love the shading and lighting, along with the reflections in water and so the background. Nice shaded leaves as well the petals. Well done and enjoyed this composition!

Besides, the awesome colors, I like the silkyness of the petals, the bramble-like centers, and the delicacy of the light on the water down below.

intriguing composition,
i like the colour tones, and the reflection of the light in the water.
The sparkling centers of the flowers add interest.

What a beautiful piece. I love the salmon colors of the flowers. The centers show lots of texture and the petals have a nice variation in lights & darker shades. Great background also. Love it!
