Beautiful bloom and nicely framed in pink cream b/g. I like the pov with the precise amt of bloom showing along with display of the curled petals. Liquidy smooth throughout the petals. I might opt for a bit of darker perimeter of b/g transitioning to brightness behind bloom. Like portraits...

Beautiful image Sandy! I really like the subtle pink background and the excellent detail all around. The soft colors are very pleasing and the lighting is top notch. Nice work!

Sandy, I like the pastel colouring and POV very much. I echo Ken's comments about BG

I think the expression is "pretty enough to eat" Sandy. I'd be interested in seeing Ken's bg suggestion implemented but this is certainly beautiful as posted.

Beautiful portrait Sandy! The framing and colors work really well here, perfect positioning of the bloom, and the folded leaf adds a nice touch to this.

I noticed when viewing the large version, there are three small slanted lines running horizontally near the top right corner. Not sure what they're from, just wanted to point those out if they were unintentional.
