Wow, love it, what a wintertime beauty. A beauty, all so well framed and focused with a dark background to show the delicate and soft details.

Comment from Life is but a dream.
mmmm Mary, this is nice, clean , sharp nice colours. What I really like is how the background supports the beauty of the flower. I suggest you try a perfect square format with circular focal points. The eyes tend to read around and around bouncing off 4 equal sides...it will make a difference to the initial visual impact.

Such soft delicate lovliness. The closeup detail on the petals is excellent. Its in the perfect stage of bloom. The color is gorgeous. The muted background a compliment. Great shot.
