Pete,
A lovely shot. I like how each of the flowers are different, yet the presentation is well balanced. The bokeh and color seem balanced too.

Beautiful image Pete. Are this snow bells already from 2010 season? Nicely done.

Very nice comp and background. Good use of the curving stem and the trio of blooms.

Delightful in every way. I love the soft shades in the bg and the very delicate way the snow bells hang.

Nice job Pete. I like the colors here, the white is nice and bright and the yellow and green BG complements the subject well.

Excellent image Pete! Love the simplicity, colors of the BG and just the overall daintiness and capture of the bells themselves.

Lots of subject presence in this Pete and the bg supports the subject and the comp extremely well. I really like the image. No nits.

It's hard not to like images with delicate whites and arcs. Maybe a touch flat at this end Pete but nothing distracting at all. RIP S2...
