Stack of 24 (It looks rather flat here, but the neck of the flower is very long so I stacked all the way down to the bottom of the neck!
These are night bloomers & I took this just as the sun was rising.

Gorgeous tones and colors Eirini. I love the contrast of the bloom to the BG. Nice amount of detail showing through in the BG. A very, very pretty photo.

Eirini - Datura plant produces beautiful and large flowers. We have one here which is all purple. Many parts of the Datura are also poisonous.

Really like your take and centralized composition. The perspective does not bring out the depth of the flower given how big they really are and your explanation makes a lot sense.

There are a few small dust spots (or petal blemishes) which are easy to clean up and increase the purity of the white/cream.

Wonderful composition. In this case, the centered comp. is great. May be I am wrong, but it seems a little under-exposed.
Congrats

Eirini:
A very beautiful image. The exposure is just spot on. Nice texture in the petals and good details in the center. Also like faint leaf outlines in the bg.
