Nice work here Chuck. I like how you captured the pastel colors of the flowers. The focus is sharp with good details.

Since this is a contest entry photo you might consider erasing the bright spot in the lower right corner as it pulls the eye away from those beautiful flowers. Also the same thing in the upper left corner. A bit bright. If you can do anything with that I think it would help to emphasize the flowers. Just a couple of thoughts Chuck.

Best of the best in the contest my friend ~ Steve

Thanks Steve. Tried to adjust it but could not remove the matte to make the adjustments you talk about. I had put the shot together last year and saved it as it appears. Oh, well - there is always a next time.

Thank you very much.

Comment from Lucien van Oosten
The light on the flower is controlling the whites there very nicely, focus is good fro mat part on the flower in the for ground, the on detractor,or distraction is the blown out white area on the upper left, that area is fighting for my attention, maybe you should consider cropping that are away.

Thank you for allowing me to comment on your photo.
Have good day,
Cheers.
Lucien

Thanks for the review and critique. I will see if I can do anything about the white spot.

A very nicely composed shot with excellent exposure for the white petals. The stamens are shown in fine detail and the colors are very nice.
