Eye catching color and sharp focus, what else can you ask for Mark. The postproduction work in Lightroom worked well. Darkening the background got that 'POP' you were looking for.

This is an attention getter for certain.

Nice to see excellent work done with manual settings... Bob

A good looking image presented here into the competition! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us a very enjoyable view of those beautiful blooms. Colours, textures and tones are good. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!
