Nice subdued light,color and really excellent detail in the whites, Ian! I like the BG very much, which is good support for the subject without being too busy, The flower could use just a tad more breathing room, IMO, but that is strictly subjective. Solid work!

Ian - Love the orientation for the Cosmos which is looking into the frame at a nice angle. Its sharp and the background very nice.

Ian, I love all here: angle and composition, background and the enhanced center. Splendid.
PS. I often leave the spots of the pollen but here, on the candid dress and the large petals of the cosmos may be.... IMHO
Take care.

Ian: Love the POF/DOF choice and the complementary BG. Superb rendering of the center and petal textures. >=))>
