Scott - Just lovely !. I have not seen many of the white variety. I really like the translucent portions at the bottom of the blooms as well as the gentle curve this stem makes laugh

Scott, I like the curve and your crop. Great plane of focus to get all the « hearts » sharp. A nice clean image.

ILooking at the thumb I thought this was a conversion, Scott, the colour is so subtle.  The light is perfect, the delicate colours do show up well and the composition works well, with the main drop in the centre of the image.  Very lovely !!

Excellent DOF & exposure, like the semi-pano comp that accentuates the sweeping curve of this stem..

Nicely presented, I think it's that line white line that does it for meenlightened

Very nice Scottdevil
