Graceful Curves

Last night I headed out to the Denver Botanic Gardens. Due to a wedding nearby, I was serenaded by bagpipes as I wandered the gardens in beautiful dusk diffused light. This image speaks to me due to the graceful curves. Please let me know what you think! All C&C welcome and appreciated!
Thanks for looking,
Anne

Graceful curves indeed - superb composition and a perfect dof decision for my tastes. Very fine photography.

Anne, this is wonderful. Excellent POV, lovely colours, and fine detail. LOVE the peek at the center, though soft petals.
Masterful work!

Excellent comp. I like the touch of color in the BG as well.

Anne, I really like the way you melted the petals in the front to show the center thereby getting the stem also in good focus. Any other way would have sacrificed the aesthetic impact. Just lovely :cool:

This is great. I like how the curve of the stem leads to the sharp center.

Late to this party Anne, but I love the gorgeous curves. The one little stamen on its own toward the top right of the stem is a great little gem.
