Hey Bill,
Beautiful detail and lighting on the subject. The gentle shadows and yellow reflection on the pedals are outstanding.
Well done . . .

Beautiful, Bill. The subtle creamy whites are very well portrayed and I love the detail in the center. The leaves don't seem to add much to this image and some of the brighter areas of the bg are a bit of a distraction. I might be tempted to isolate the bloom and go with a very dark/black bg.

I totally agree with Dennis on the bg.

The flower is beautiful and the detail is excellent. The bg might be less distracting if you burned some of the brighter areas.

Bill, I like the classic comp, the excellent detail, and the natural look of the flower in its natural setting. Given the strong light, I think this came out quite well.

Bill this is beautiful. You have handled the whites with the darks amazingly well with this. Sharp as a tack, perfect as far as I can see. Kudos!!!

The blossom is outstanding Bill! I like the leaves, but I agree with the rest about darkening the BG. Also, I might remove the small stain about 8 o'clock on bottom left petal.

You're too modest, Bill. The BG is a tad distracting, but otherwise this is such a great looking flower shot. I would probably clone out the bright spot on the leaf protruding from the left side of the flower. Minor nits.
