A very nice comp, and I like the dark background. The little buds add nice context.

An excellent work Sandy! These flowers have always very high reflexes on all the petals that you have controlled beautifully without depressing the luminosity (only- 1/3EV). I also love the large, natural composition and the dynamism created by the diagonal lines.

Very well made, Sandy. Your techs are spot on. Smallest nit—just a little tilt of the camera would have gotten the bud UR all the way in. cool

Beautiful composition Sandy. Love the way you have added the buds to balance the image.

Nice color and nice viewpoint, Sandy. I might have swished the spider off of the bloom, but this is still very pretty.
