I'd almost call this "the thinker" . Fantastic image and display Kathy. Stunning

The graceful curve of the leaf makes this image. Nicely done.

Hi Kathy. "The Thinker" came to my mind also. A very well presented image. Comp, color, lighting, and BG all look great.

Perfectly captured. The under lighting is interesting - did u use a gold refector?

Thanks, everyone for your comments. Gary, I did use a gold reflector on the right to open things up a bit. Been experimenting with reflectors and diffused light. It's been fun - I shot red tulips yesterday. Just need some pink and yellow, now.

Love the composition in this Kathy. Also the color palette and the bg. Beautiful work.

Kathy: The leaves are the perfect complement to the bloom. I like the arrangement in the frame and the lighting. Well done.>=))>
