The larger version needs to be viewed, because it is exquisite. Beautiful form and comp, great detail and textures and light (and colors, of course).

This is delightful, Bill. Petal dancing at its best! Love the comp and lighting. I'd like to see just a touch more room at the bottom but that's so minor in such a fantastic image. Beautifully executed.

Just outstanding Bill. Love the hyperbolic curves in the composition, the colors, bg and light. Don't know how you see these compositions. Beautiful...

The interaction of the two flowers here is the story. Both beauties and the combination of the two results in a wonderful image! Congratulations. :toast:
