Absolutely magnificent detail, and the soft merging with the background is nothing short of magical - nicely done!!

This has terrific lines and shapes. Squiggly stamen add to the uniqueness and hidden beauty. Well done!

Patricia: This is lovely! I'm not sure I recall seeing this flower before so extra credit for unique subject. Really like your DOF/POF choice and the BG. Most excellent. >=))>

I love where the focus is, as it guides me right to the place of interest. Amazingly, I can still take in the whole flower, luxuriating in the softness of its blend into the background gradient of color. I might have expected to want the white tips in focus, but not so. Interest, boldness, softness, a fantasy of color, this image has it all. Masterful photograph! So wonderful to see you posting again!!

Really nice. Just the right amount of dof fading into the dreamy soft bg.

An unusual view of an Hellebore flower that I like very much. Patricia, I also love the harmony of the warm colors; in fact, colors are for me the most important merit of the photo, may be only for me.

As fine a composition of a hellebore centre as I can recall seeing, Patricia !! The perspective gives a wonderful sense of growth as the different elements of the centre emerge.

I pop over to this gallery once in awhile, just for a pleasant virtual "garden walk" kind of pleasure. This image makes me stop to savor. Great work.
