Amazing, soft, delicate and intricate. Wonderful pastel pinks and very nice on the DOF.

Albert, I like this a lot! The pastel colors are gorgeous, and you got a good fit with the DOF, despite the profusion of anthers and petals. A small nit (and I am not even sure it is one), there is a visible amount of blue color cast. I think warming the WB about 15% would give you another alternative. Still, I like it with a cool tone as well. Something to check when you have the time.

I love the colors of the beautiful delicate petals. The OOF petals in the bg are lovely.  Very nice, Albert!

Hi Albert,

Other than the slight blue cast, a pretty impressive display. I like the diagonal presentation and the subtle colors..................Jim
