Albert - Like the textures and the soft pinks and whites. I hope your garden begins to blossom pretty soon

I've not seen this variety before. Excellent frame filling and lovely pastel colors.

Nice one Albert. These are hard to photograph, with all the leaves and groups of flowers, but you have managed to get some order to them. Great colors too.

The colors work really well for me Albert, and the lines in the petals do also. I am not sure about the comp. With the top line of the petals the way that it is (not flat - but not angled too much), it feels a tad off to me. I would almost like it angled a bit more I think.

Overall this is very nice though. I personally do not have any experience shooting these.
