After days of rain it was hard to find a flower that was not too damaged. I always like these fragile pink flowers, especially up close.

I like the separation of subject to background and the light Ellen. Well done and shown in my opinion.

Doesn't look like the rain has hurt this one. The centered comp works well here with the radiating petals. I might be tempted to tone down some of the brighter areas in the BG as they tend to pull the eye (mine anyway) away from the main subject.

Hi Ellen

Well composed, capturing the interesting geometric lines, and soft colors.

I like those pinks a lot, and the depth of field is great, I like being able to see the out of focus flowers in the background.
Really nice capture! I like the frame, too.

Ellen:
I like the pink bloom which you have captured nicely and the bg is just fine. However, I am not sure about the buds though, the one at 12 o'clock seems to compete with the bloom for attention.

What a neat flower! I like the central composition & the framing really shows it off!
