Another beautiful Azalea, but this time in pink. The green foliage is a lovely background, and the pink flower is standing out from it in an excellent way.

The photo is sharp, with clear details seen both in the petals and the stamens, and the exposure is spot on.

The tight cropping and the format works well, and the flower is well placed within the frame. I think this is a truly lovely and well taken photo Allan, and I wish you luck with the contest.

Thanks Annie, I cannot tell you the thrill to shoot flowering plants in winter. What a bonus in life to be in a warm climate now. Thanks for the wonderful review!
