Comment from Linda Wetzel
I see a gargoyle face in the center if this beautiful flower. It looks as though the petals are made from crushed tissue paper. I really like the yellow throats. The lights and shadows in this piece are very pleasing.

Impressive capture!
Excellent choice of subject.
Aptly captured for the contest theme...
Sharply focused.
Fine floral features & textures.
Dramatic interplay between lights & shades.
Nice perspective & narrow DOF.
Thanks for sharing...

What a gorgeous blossom! This is well photographed, good focus, the image is clear, perfect exposure and white balance, the white petals show nice detail, this is such a full plush flower, looks like white ruffles! Very nice work! Thank you for sharing!
