Oh my goodness, this flower is perfect. I love the petals, the color, the whole image. You have done an excellent job in photographing this flower. Thank you for sharing.

So lovely. The layers of the petals are really vivid. It looks like a rose. This maybe a quaint flower and is rare. I haven't seen any one like this yet, although the name sounds familiar. You can actually edit those imperfections, if you have the editing tool. Just an open option. Overall this is well captured and a joy to view. This surely feeds my soul.

Thanks for your positive feedback not keen on editing as all of nature has imperfections and I personally prefer to keep natural beauty. Bit like having botox or face lift just because signs of age are creeping up lol. Cheers Mary

Sometimes, I leave it, too, only that they gave it 4.5 for the imperfections. lol! You are right. I never use editing tool, at first here.

Yes have noticed that the subject is often reviewed rather than the photo as a whole but can still learn so much from people's reviews. I have given a few 4.5 myself if the initial impact isn't there 😄

I was given 4.5 before because of a dot. It was actually a pollen that fell on the leaf. lol.

A very nice blossom caught at its peak. Excellent colors which stand out well against this soft natural background. I really like the composition/cropping.

A beautiful flower! Blurred background sets off the flower great!

Your framing and focus are great !

The POV AND DOF are set well because of your setting combo!!

Good job!
Brenda
