Sweet! The qualities of the Lisianthus are stunning. You've captured them well. Flawless, creamy and fresh. I don't know if the b/g color scheme is similarly perfect to compliment. I think it is the whites which look slightly blue-tinted in ulc against the white of the forum b/g. But, I have no ideas other than a natural outdoor scene blurred to replace. All in all, another top notch shot.

Ian - Might be my favourite in the series so far. I have to look for these flowers now.

I specially like the diagonal gradient in the background, and the curving composition. Inclusion of buds makes for additional interest.
