Miro: I often find glads hard to compose so I appreciate your effort here. This works for me very nicely. Top notch shot. >=))>

Lovely, soft rendering of this flower, Miro with real sharpness in the stamens. The light is very well handled, bringing out the petal folds nicely, and I like the inclusion of the second flower as a echo. Well composed and executed !!

Miro - Nicely captured with the focus right on the pollen pod and the three pronged stigma (?).

Miro, a beautiful selective focus, for me, that makes soft the splendid colors of this flower. Very well composed too.
Take care.

Miro:

A complex flower which is challenging to photograph. You have done well here zooming into a single bloom and concentrating on the stamens and anthers. :toast:
