I like the center of this Anemone and the delicate white petals.

Canon XTi, 70-300 lens at 220mm, f/11, 1/200 sec., ISO 400.

Very nice, Barb. Well handled whites with good detail and an appropriate background. You might spend a few minutes cleaning up the dirt specks. :toast:

The center of this flower is quite beautiful! I like the way you have the background dark to showcase this lovely bloom!

Barb - Nice light and I like the slightly warm white balance. I have not seen Anemone with this petal formation in complete white. I have seen this Variety only in Pink color, so this is a first for me.

Other cleaning up the small specks on the petals, I don't have any other observations here.

Very nice, Barb. Nice light. Good job handling the exposure of the white petals and dark bg. Beautiful result.

Barb:
This is one flower that is not available in our local florist. Would love to work on these. This one is beautiful. Only suggestion apart from cleaning the dust spots is to remove the stem as well.

Barb, I love the pure white that surrounds the beautiful center and the little hand saying goodbye to me. I love it.
Take care.

The whites are gorgeous, Barb, and the flower beautifully lit with touches of light and shade across the petals. The square format is perfect for a lovely flower.
