I like the way the textures on the wayward, brightly lit petal give a strong point of focus here, Larry. Great to have you posting - keep 'em coming !

Welcome to the forum. I really like the flower shot but don't care for the border color. You controlled the bright sunlight very well.

Neat composition with the father bloom lower leading your eye upward and to the forefront bloom. I think you did a very good job with the capture considering lighting and time of day. JPEG capture seems right on, no blown out highlights and the shadows work well IMHO.

The best way to capture many flowers is on the ground, so you've got the right idea! This makes me long for bright spring days since today's high here was around 20 degrees. Beautiful colors and great control of the exposure. Welcome to NPN and Flora

Welcome, Larry. Frame-filling blast of color! Nicely composed and the light adds a graphic nature to the presentation. Just what we all need to see in the dead of winter. Do show us more.
