Beautiful image Charles. I normally take a little longer to consider your work but this one clicked immediately. Love the comp and subject.

Neat shot Charles. Great detail in the open flower, and I really like the inclusion of the leaf at the top. :cool:

I've been on the lookout for these little guys this year and haven't found one yet. Nice presentation.

Very nice Charles. The detail is great. You've done well controlling the DOF. The unopened bud give me a nice perspective. I'm always amazed how flower petals unfold into something so beautiful!
