Beautiful photograph with excellent edits to enhance it. Simple yes but at the same time so beautiful and elegant. I'm sure I know who posted this one as I can recognize the fine work. Can't help but give this one a six as it is just spectacular to me. Beautiful work on it and good luck in the contest.

The crocus is a beautiful little precursor to spring. I love the shape you chose to display the flower. The leaves draw your eye to the flower, the dof is very good since you do want to focus on the flower and not the leaves in back. I like this. Unusual and unique

Perfect title for this very nice capture. The setup is great. The angle of the shot of the lone flower is great. The capture of the light is awesome. The image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall

Well I finally can spend my 6 star as this is so beautiful, excellent in softness, elegance and so well created - the way you placed this flower in your frame already gives a special artistic impression at the first view - the use of space is fantastic, well balanced with the perfect negative space to let this bloom stand out in perfection
the flower is clear and sharp and so perfect in contrast and lighting - the background color brings the perfect calm and deepness - the green shadow add the last touch of perfection, excellent job a pleasure to see, thanks for sharing

What a lovely composition. I love the placement of the crocus. Focus is nice and sharp. I love the dark background. Nice lighting. The whole scene makes the crocus pop in the photo. Very nicely done. Thanks for sharing.
