Welcome to Flora and NPN, Yun! This is a great first post. The edges of the petals are so sharp and nice. A great subject and a great shot. I like it a lot.

Yun: Welcome to the finest Flora gallery on the planet and thanks for a superb first post. A really beautiful subject and a fine capture. I like how you filled the frame and the definition on the petal edges. The centered comp works for me as well. Great to have you aboard and looking forward to more.>=))>
