Great job Willie! I love the detail you have caught here. The flower is surrounded by wonderful green and the lighting here on the flower to highlight it, is perfect. You haven't blown out the flower which can be tough in this sort of lighting conditions. I like the way the background is dark and the water drops on the petals are a neat touch! Great job thanks for sharing!

This is a gorgeous image. It is simple, yet there is so much that is nice about it. The initial impact is very strong. The composition is very good The balance is good. The depth of field is good. Your subject is dominant and the focus is very good. The lines ofthe image are good. The diagonals of the leaves adn the subject itself break up the tedium. The background is even great going from black to greens, and providing a wonderful contrast to your subject. Very nice image.
