A beautiful pink bloom Mary, they look like little fairy gowns! I have never seen these before, just beautiful, excellent composition, dof, focus and framing;)

i'm always drawn to these beautiful flowers. I got some at botanical gardens not long ago. Such beautiful shape and pretty color. Nice composition. I always find them a little hard to frame. Good dof to soften the background and keep the attention on the flowers. Lovely shot Mary.

Comment from canon shooter
Very good looking tones and a nice background. I have seen these and they sure looks very interesting. I was wondering if a little vignette wound help with the point of view of the lower ones.

Comment from CatherineGillam
The colours are beautiful, but the sharpness is not there - I'd expect it to be on the little yellow tips at the base of the image but to me it looks quite fuzzy. I'd also try to isolate a bloom to emphasise it and distinguish it from closer blooms, giving more impact!

nice texture with the flowers, and the detail is good. color is good and contrast of the blurred adds to the view and texture. amazing looking flowers, good definition and focus. nice presentation. BEV

Comment from susanlen
Very pretty pink flower. No idea what this is although I have been gardening for years. This is the kind of shot I take myself where the blooms in the foreground are in sharp focus whilst those in the background are out of focus and soft. Framing is very good and the green leaves compliment the whole image.
