Nicely composed and processed. The high-key touches work well with the white clematis. Beautifully rendered overall, Sandy.

It looks like fireworks! I keep wondering if the highlights could be lowered slightly...but I am not sure. Otherwise very nice!

I love the color of the blossom, and the hints of color. Not sure about the BG peaking through on the right side.

Sandy - Lovely take on the Clematis - many of my efforts fell short this season.

My thoughts echo what Nathan said. Love the Flow and the placement of the center but the background peeking through the petals on the right takes some impact away.

This seems so translucent and ephemeral. The touches of color and startlingly graphic center add the to impact. Very nicely done

This is wonderful, Sandy! The colors are so neatly rendered. I love the purple streaks. I might crop slightly off the bottom because the bloom is facing upwards. :toast:
