Another beauty, Ian. I like the comp with the supporting buds, and the nice light. You've retained excellent detail in the yellow center and the flowing white petals.

Ian - Very beautifully done. I like the dreamy processing effect and also how the two buds are skillfully composed to bracket the stem of the main flower.

A very happy and dreamy summer feel to this one, Ian. The buds add that touch of hope for the future.
