Very appealing Bill, I especially like the soft colors and detail, and the reds really stand out nicely against the BG. Beautifully presented.

Striking comp Bill, the buds are perfectly positioned against the bg and the colors are fireworks for sure :toast:

Nice diagonals and colors Bill. I wish that the BG was just a tad softer.

Bill:
I find long flowers challenging but you have shown how to do masterfully. Lovely soft image and bright contrast of red and green makes this rather appealing. :toast:

Very nice Bill. The sharpening is perfect, your choice of radius and threshold really make for a beautiful image, and dof is excellent.

I like the diagonal composition and movement through the frame Bill. It does remind me of fireworks. As always, beautiful work. The larger image is particularly striking.
