Not a comment on my mood but rather the name of this double hibiscus. I've been messing with this plant for the better part of three months and have finally come up with a comp I'm happy with. All comments welcome.>=))>

Whoa Bill... superb composition and exceptional image for my tastes. As fine an hibiscus image as I recall seeing.

Wow Bill! What a bloom! Great comp - it works for me. I love the rich colors in the rear part of the bloom. Very nice shot.

Bill I like the diagonal lines and the five little eyes looking out right bottom! Neat presentation. Catchy name, even if it isn't your own! I'll drink ot that!

Outstanding, Bill! I thought your Star Hibiscus would be hard to beat, but I think this one beats it! I love it! Suberb colors!

This is lovely, Bill. I really like the arrangement/comp of the image and the colors are beautiful. The diffused lighting is perfect for this. Nicely crafted:)

To enjoy this immage, to open a larger view is a must. Bill I like the very good details and the composition selection. IMO no space for any criticism. Very well done.

Wonderful composition, Bill ! So much going on yet everything is absolutely right - forms, colours, everything down to the stigma peeping through at the bottom. This is just superb.
