Everything looks perfect here, Ram, I love it. Great depth of field, the detail looks great, and that blue background wash goes really nicely with the purples.

Ram:
Very gracious and beautiful bg. I like the blooms in the bottom providing a solid anchor for the curving buds at the top. Whats the blue in the bg?

Gary, The Blue in the background is Salvia Blooms, Regards/Ram

This is just so wonderful in every way, Ram! Love the colors, comp, lovely background, and the choice of subject with full blossoms moving up to the buds at the top. I have similar flowers growing in my flower bed but I haven't been able to shot an image I've been happy with. You inspire me to keep trying!

Love the progression of development as you move up toward the top. Perfectly executed!

Great details and comp. The dof looks perfect with sharpness through the bloom and a nice soft background with complementary colors.
