Awesome shot, Craig ! Superb composition and winning colors

F/4.5...I suppose this is a result of a stacking job...

Fantastic color, and a great sense of movement in the petals of the fully bloomed flower. Wonderful work!

Tastefully done, Craig

Strong comp and a great dof choice Craig. I might brighten the center just a touch but this is gorgeous as posted.

I like the rich colors of this, Craig. Great comp, details on the two flowers, and a nice diffused BG.
