Perfect color combo. The purple flowers are tack sharp and the green bg with purple OOFs is bewitching. :toast:

Nice capture. Just the right amount of blur on the background.

This is really lovely, Guy. The larger image really shows the detail you captured and how well the BG blur sets off that detail. Super job. :toast: :toast: :toast:

Very cool capture. I like it for all the reasons already mentioned; in particular, aside from the flowers themselves, the blades of grass receding into the background look wonderful.

Absolutely gorgeous Guy... along with everything else that others have mentioned I am dumbfounded with your colour balance. It's so accurate that I could well be looking at a real sample in the field. Did you need to use custom WB for this? Just amazing and awesome in every way :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast:

Hello Debashis.

The colour balance was set to cloudy and the rest was just fine tuned in PS.

Thanks for your comment.
