Very nice, Floyd. I like the warm off white bg and the overall comp. I might like more sharpness on the lower area of the nearest petals (right above the center), but I think most people would not give this a second thought, so, overall, there is very little to nitpick here. :toast:

Very nice Floyd! I really like the composition, perspective and point of view. I agree it could use some sharpening but this a very nice shot as is.

I like the composition and colors on this Floyd. The cyclamen is a hard flower to capture in a unique way and you've done it here. Looks a little soft but that may be just the colors blending into each other.

A lovely image - almost a watercolor! :wavey:

This is a fine detailed look at this flower. The darker red and the yellow center attracts most of my attention, but I like how all of the background has a subtle pink tinge.

Beautifully composed abstract, Floyd ! Maybe, as Scott suggests, just a touch more structure to the lower half would strengthen this even further, but the quality of the composition and the light make this a very lovely image.
