Patricia - Your dewy Tuberous Begonia you posted a few years back is still fresh in my mind.
I like the sherbet colors here and the focus on the predominantly yellow center. I'd have liked a bit more DOF for the petal edges immediately below the center but it might not have been possible.

Patricia:
This is luscious and beautiful. I see what Ram is referring to about the lower petal but this is good for me as posted.

Beautiful! I like the orange and yellow blend ... it's a can't miss combo. I see one lil' droplet at 7 pm...and that has me wishing for 3 or 4 more ..each sharp and diamond-like. You seem to have pulled out the darker center or crevices between petals using photoshop ...or so it seems. But, just a tad more dark would add depth. The veins and full frame with petals reaching at you is superb. Lovely shot.

Patricia: We've had few begonias in our garden mostly because I found them hard to shoot. I think you've shown the way. Beautiful subject and capture. >=))>

Lovely color capture with perfect light. I too pine for just a bit of sharpness where noted, but it's a nit only.

Beautiful color. Most head on shots don't work for me but this is an exception. Nice shot.
