Barbara, I like this. All the shapes, lines and curves built into this one bloom are wonderful. While I might have sought a tad more depth, I like the BG as shown. Really good work.

Pleasing comp, well done Barbara :toast:
PS - How long will you be on the laptop monitor? I can't be easy in your post processing work.

Barbara,

Strong subject presence and beautiful color palette. I like your dof decision as well. My problem is with the echoing bg flower. To me it blends with the subject and masks the subject shape. I think most folks like that though, so I'm definitely in the minority on it. Other than that, I like the image very much.
