Thank you for mentioning the light through the petals gg. That's exactly why I shot this from behind the flower. I appreciate you checking my post.

a beautifully presented photograph of this flower although its a little frustrating that the main focal point has shot up to the top of the page rather than staying central...it becomes a distraction and leaves the centre a little bit sparse...A nice sharp image though which is rally good

Vibrant bloom with sepals captured in great contrast.
Subdued lighting! Sharply focused. Nice perspective & narrow DOF. Thanks for sharing...

A beautiful shot with great depth of field that keeps the leaves and buds at the bottom in sharp focus. The composition is very nice and the colors are great. And I strolled through everything on this site to see what could get my last 6. Winner,winner, chicken dinner.

Comment from fotogran
I am looking for the button that will turn the flower around so I can view it properly. lol This is so contrary to so much. you told me once that I had to review the image you actually took, not the one that I wished you had taken. This image is perfect in so many ways. Focus is sharp. Exposure is perfect. Composition, balanced and properly arranged. Color palette very springy. It is killing me that I can't see the face of the flower, and I love it. Really, really good work!

I promise to post it from the front sometime.....'properly' Thank you so very much for the really wonderful review....the extra star?? well, that's a bonus.
