What a great shot this is. The flower just jumps out at you. Excellent composition and depth of field, and good use of light and shade. Stunning work.

I love the contrast between the light and dark areas in this photograph. The flower in the foreground is stunning and demands notice. The light hitting the side of the building and lighting up the window creates a sense of mystery.

This is a beautiful touch of spring that I really enjoy seeing! We had an early fall here and now we're starting to have winter weather already! I love the beautiful pink flowers and they stand out so well against the neutral colors of the building.

It is a long winter ahead of me before I can start to think about spring, but when I see this photo I am almost starting to look forward to seeing the spring blooms. You have pictured this colorful Rhododendron so well, and it is standing out from the background in an excellent way. I especially like the way the light is falling on the flower.

Your photo is also nice and sharp showing such clear and well defined details in every part of the plant, and the exposure is very good.

The cropping is working well and the flower has got a fine placement a bit off to the left. Indeed a lovely and well taken photo, and with an excellent DOF.

I think this is beautiful as a whole well thought out composition. The central flower glows with a psychedelic pink and has a very complimentary bud on the right. The gloss of the leaf bottom left sets off the bloom. I really like your background house, the brickwork is clear next to an interesting window. I see focus is excellent and lighting great.

I know that it is starting to get cold here and boy am I dreading it, I can't wait till spring. I love all types of flowers and I am always looking for different kinds to plant in the yard. This looks like a beauty. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing. JackJr.

This is a lovely shot of the spring flowers! You have timed it well. The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good effort!

A very nice nature shot posted here! Your almost central composition of those beautiful blooms brings the house behind them nicely into view. Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely done!
