Really nice floral portrait Barb. The semi-centered comp works very well here imo. I like how the open flower in the middle is surrounded by buds in various stages of opening. Color and BG look great. :cool:

Your comp, light and DOF are really nice Barb, as is the color. I might suggest just brightening this a tad.

Hi Barb :wavey: this would also be my favourite if it were mine. The marvelous pastel colors, B.G. and composition are an alluring scene. :smile:
