Nice lines and colour! I like the DOF choice, perspective and comp too.
The center seems just a tad dark, so you might try lightening a bit if you wished to experiment.
Pretty!

I love the composition in this Ian and the shadowed areas that add such a sense of depth and space to the image. I also like the processing very much. This is superb for my tastes.

Oh, very nice Ian. The details are stunning as usual from you. That subtle green vertical stripe at UL edge really adds a lot to this image IMO.

Ian, I really like the "grain" and textures of this image.

I hope your work is hanging in an art gallery somewhere! And that the prints are ginormous. Remarkable work, Ian.

Ian, this is my favorite Anemone of yours. The back vortex in the texture of the petals mix with the perfect circle of the stamens, creating an involving feeling. Also the colors match beautifully. I love this image.
Take care.

I like the light behind the center to give that area a little separation. You really have a way with these!
