This flower was in a garden outside of Zion National Park. You might say I stole the image.

A lovely portrait Jack, this perfect bloom has the potential to be a frame-filler too.

Wow, what great detail. I like the way you captured the soft texture of the petals and the white stand right out against the purple back petals. Great sharpness in the stamens.

Great picture Jack, very well done. I almost wish the BG wasn't in it as it makes my eye wander, but wonderful job.

Nice shot Jack. Color, detail, and lighting all look good. A very minor nit, but I wish that piece of "fuzz" wasn't attached to the petal in the UL.

Jack: Beautiful capture of one of my favorite flowers. I wouldn't mind the fuzz going away but its a pretty small nit for me. Where this would definitely work better for me is if the lower white petal wasn't clipped. I do like how you handled the tough light. BTW, this is a columbine and a really good one. Nicely done.>=))>
