Willie, Congratulations on your second place win. This is one gorgeous flower and the way you photographed it revealing the veins, softness with the rain drops is very skilled photography as well.

What a stunning color and you have captured the beauty of the flower very well. The texture of the delicate petals is shown clearly and the center is sharply focused. Great against the black background.

A nice presentation again, with such a nice flower and such a nice position and close up that we really can see all the details in this inner place with different colors , so this picture is attractive for me and I wish you all the best of this contest, xoxo

A very good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine and full composition offers us an enjoyable view of that pretty bloom. Like the colours and petal detail. Nicely taken!
