This is very pretty=) I like the selective coloring very much on this! The light grey background makes the color of the flower stand out! The focus is excellent! The overall image is very well done and a pleasure to view! Lilibug6

I think, a darker contrast would bring out the real pink color, my friend...it looks lilac in my monitor.
I'm sure this a site uploading version!
But this is already aptly modified for the contest.
A great initial impact. Nice interesting subject. Excellent POV & DOF...Harmonious setting. Impressive lighting, focusing & framing. Thanks for sharing... Best of luck in the contest!

Dickson,
Thanks a million for your review. I did try increasing the saturation but it looked VERY artifical turning the flower to a Magenta pink where infact it was soft pink.

Well done composition - Love the movement in the flower, placement in the frame and the angle in the frame. Square format works! Your focus is solid with fine petal detail, the colors are gorgeous... LOL the color - nice selective entry for the contest. Thanks for sharing and good luck.
