One long series ends & another long one begins

'Flowers from Mumbai' having a population of more then 20 million, Mumbai is from the few cities(if not the only) of the world that has a national park in the heart of the city
There is an estimated more then 200 species of wild flowers & i regularly (sundays) visit here to be with mother nature & it's the only reason i still live in this chaotic city

Flower Name - Woodrow's Crinum Lily (Crinum woodrowii) (this is also 1 of India's rearest flowers)
Av - 9.0, Tv - 200, ISO - 400, 100mm, tripod, 75% of the original image

C & C welcomed!!

Krunal: Really good plane of focus management here along with the placement of the anthers against the petals. Superbly crafted image. >=))>

Superb composition Krunal. I also like the dof decision. Fascinating subject. No suggestions.

Well composed. I like the symmetry. I like that all four anthers are sharply in focus. Did you use focus blending techniques? A beautiful picture.

Sweet image, Krunal. I love the symmetry here and the fact that all four anthers are in focus. Great job on the BG also.

Intriguing shot of a fascinating flower, Krunal. A superb capture of the anthers, which seem to dance for the viewer. The droplets are nice too - I guess bringing them into focus might have spoiled the anther effect - my only query about this.

Krunal:
Superb plane of focus management. Good choice of DOF. After a fabulous Himalayans series I am looking forward to see more of your new series.
