Comment from Natalia Leigh
I love viburnums. It is so close and detailed composition, pleasant for the view, well centered, looks like flowers are melting in the background. It is inviting to smell...Thanks for sharing.

What a nice flower arrangement photograph. They seem to form a circle with little flowers all around them. Nice lighting and exposure. The photo is crisp and sharply focused. The white vignette was a nice touch.

Karen,
Thanks a million for your complementary review on this Guelder Rose ~ Viburnum opulus flower head. The surrounding "Flowers" are sterile Bracts while the actual fertile flowers are in the centre it's very like a Lace Cape Hydrangea, which hss the same floral arrangement a circle of bracts around the central florets/flowers.

Such an interesting flower Susan and really good notes describing it...always appreciate hearing a little something about the image I'm looking at so thank you for that.
Really like the way you've photographed this little bunch. Your whites are spot on and the dark green is a lovely backdrop- color is excellent. Your image is nice and crisp w/ lots of good detail as well. Love the little frame you added....not so sure about the vignette though....perhaps a little softer around the edge??
At any rate, it's a pretty piece and I learned about a brand new flower today!

You have achieved a good perspective on this Virburnum. Your central composition is engaging. Good light handling with sharp focus and good details in your image. I love the open flowers among the small buds. Very well photographed and your flowers stand out nicely from the background. This is very nice work and thanks for sharing! Beautiful!

Comment from Linda Wetzel
This beautiful flower reminds me of a bridal bouquet. The flowers and bracts are so feminine and delicate looking that I think they would make a very nice bouquet. I like the three lobed leaves.

Comment from ArtistCharles
Nice image of a beautiful flower. It also reminds me of a lace cap hydrangea. Very good and sharp focus shows off the details, especially of the smaller inner flowers. The special framing also works to add to the feel of the shot. Well seen.

Comment from alaskapat
This is well photographed with good focus, the image is clear, well exposed, the whites show with nice detail in the petals, I like that this allows us to see how this flower grows and gives us a sense of their location. This is well presented and was a pleasure to view!

A beautiful blossom and a very fine photo. I like the perspective and the excellent exposure for the white petals. The soft light gives you great detail and very good colors.

Mike,
Thanks a million for your complementary review on this Guelder Rose blossom, I was lucky to find it under another branch that shielded it from the direct sunlight. Last year someone who shall remain nameless cut the bush back severely before the flowers had opened in the centre... Thankfully this year it's flowering very well & is covered in blossoms.
