Gorgeous flower with the hot pinks, detail shown clearly, the greenery and the blurred background. Your skilled photography adds to its loveliness. The center is lovely and the petals so soft as well.

This is such a beautiful photograph of this gorgeous flower fairy I can't get over the gorgeous colors. It's a wonderful composition as well. I love the dark background it really makes the flower stand out. It's outstanding. I wish you lots of luck in the competition my friend thank you so much for sharing.

This is such a pretty blossom! You have photographed it well Brian , I love the shape of the petals and the center detail on this one.
Well focused, this image is clear, exposure is correct, well defined detail over every part of the flower. Colors and tones appear natural.
Well composed and presented!

A beautiful blossom that looks a whole lot like a clematis. A very nicely composed shot with great colors and immaculate details. Best of luck in the contest.

Love going to Open Gardens during the season - this is a lovely image of the Clematis flower showing the beauty nicely. The colors are very natural and your focus is sharp on center of flower. Clarity of the pattern and texture of petals has been achieved. :)
