Very good choice of exposure with the flower standing out fresh and bright

Charles, IMO, this is a charming capture and composition.

It could easily be an illustration plate in a flower book. Nice going.

Beautiful delicate blossom, nice compo and good details. It's like a small light coming out of the darkness. It has nice peaceful atmosphere.

Thank you for all the very nice comments. I've always found this to be a particularly photogenic flower and plant. It's too bad it's not native and can be invasive in some places.

Ah, now! You sure dialed this one in beautifully! The best of your work so far, Charles. Flower just pops out in an exclamation of itself. I like the inclusion of some of the plant's other features. And the background really helps to isolate the subject and get the viewer to home in on the flower/plant. Excellent!

(I might clean up a few of the spots, but here, it doesn't seem like that big of a deal...)
