Wonderful shot, Gigi, as usual.
I like the soft colors. The red coil is superb!

Gigi - Tastefully done. The red curl provides a solid contrast and a place for the eye to rest on. Golden Hues through-out the frame are nice and easy on the eyes.

I would not mind a touch more definition for the bloom on the left.

Beautiful Gigi. The curl in the front of the right flora provides a good focal point of interest to go with the nice soft colors and light.

The title is just right for these lovely blooms, Gigi ! The red coil adds so much to an already beautiful, restful image.

Beautiful, Gigi. The background color compliments the subject very well and the limited dof provides a dreamy softness to the delicate flower. Very well done!

Gigi:

Two reasons why I like this image:
1. You brings emotion into the image
2. The 'fish hook' which grab the eyes and wouldn't let go

Hi Giuseppe,

This is a beautiful photo. The only change that I would consider is to burn the bright spot below each blossom a tad.

This is wonderfully warm and sensous with the slight softness of the main flowers and that sharp little curl in the front.

Such unusual colors and stripes. The curl takes center stage. Thought it was tulips. Never heard of Epiphyllums. Congratulations on the weekly pick.
