This is such a lovely carnation and I like the way it is placed within the frame, you have photographed it well with nice focus, this image is clear and your exposure is correct, I like the way the pale green center seems to glow and the way the stamens stand out here.
The off white and pale green tones appear natural, the flower is standing out beautifully from the natural green background.
Well composed and presented! We had our first snow yesterday!

WOW! I like line about the first fall of snow. I can just imagine Alaska's magical moment. Thanks for the great review, Pat.

It melted by afternoon but we will definitely get more! Temps here are in low 40’s high 30’s

WOW! We will still have some 90 high but by Tuesday just 80 and fall like in the morning like 40. Thanks for sharing, Ms. Pat.

This is a strong visual of the carnation flower.
Vibrant colour contrast & saturation. You have framed it well. Light and sharpness are very effective in creating a lovely capture. Thanks for sharing!

A good looking nature image posted here! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us a very enjoyable view of that pretty bloom. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Nicely taken!
