Very nice, Eirini ! Delightful,soft colour and excellent detail in the buds, all on a lovely bg. I would also like to have seen a portrait version - but maybe the lower stems were not too interesting ?

The BG, light and composition make this Eirini. Well seen and captured.

Eirini-Lovely stack - I am really impressed with your stacking skills :cool: . I like the V's formed by the stem of the flowers and the Curls. The inclusion of the Buds also show us how they look in the cycle to bloom.

Aphid is interesting but for me does not add or subtract anything from the frame.

Well composed and finely detailed image against a nice BG. A great POV. Very well done Eirini. :smile: P.s. You should try with less tight crop (, :confused: ).

Nice work and good stacking. The flowers and bg are both lovely. The aphids are too OOF to make any contribution to the image.
