Hi Ken
I like the POV and DOF here. The stamens and pollen are nice and sharp. The only minor nit is the highlight in the right side BG - could either crop or cloned it out. Nice image.

Ken: I like the comp here and your DOF choice. I'm OK with the BG highlights but do think it would be slightly better if you cloned/painted some green in there. Nice job working this flower.>=))>

Ken,
the dof ,pov makes this a killer image for me. I really like it. I do have reservations about the white area on the viewer's right. I'd probably clone the white out either with black or green. This is just superb for my tastes in every other respect.

Ken, nice color, comp and DOF/POF choice. I would prefer a more uniform BG. The lighter spot does compete with the main subject.

Nice color and focus on the stamen Ken. The bright in the right BG is a bit distracting, and I think I would clone it out.

I, like the others, feel that if you worked the right background, this image is really well done. DOF/POF is handled well. Good job.
