I like the smooth, darker BG Ian. Nice crop to pano too. I think that this works well.

Yes the pano is perfect with the buds and foliage accompanying that magnificent bloom. Splendid detail throughout.

Ian: I like this one better than the last. I like the narrow frame and again the buds are a plus element for me.>=))>

This is fabulous, Ian. I love the muted background tones, the flow of the stem, and the delightful soft colors of the cosmos. Really nice. :toast:

Beautiful image, Ian! The pano crop works well with this image. The color in the flower and the graceful curve of the stem are beautiful.

I like the tension and interplay between the full bloom and bud. The lighting is excellent. :toast:
