beautiful soft pastels. I like the way the center has that bright green and the little red petal. Well seen.

Hi Bruce, begonias are among my favs for plants...but, I never have any luck shooting them. Nice job! Your isolation of the bloom and progression from white to center colors is ethereal. I might even brighten and desaturate the top of frame to match the white outline of the others. Cool.

I really like the soft dreamy feeling this portrays Bruce. Well handled in my opinion.

Very soft and delicate, with an almost high key feel. I like the wash of pastel color, and I also like the fact that there is visible texture. Well done.

Oh, boy, Bruce! This is lovely and delicate as portrayed. It has a soft, gentle feel, enhanced by the way the petals blend with each other instead of having distinct, hard looking edges. I can't really explain it because each petal is distinct, but as a whole this image is so easy on the eye, very calming, and yet still interesting. Beautifully made image!
