A bit more conventional take on our recent BoP. It gets some nice back lighting mid day and I just had to take advantage. All comments welcome.>=))>

Another fine, eye-catching take on your BoP, Bill. The lighting, color, pof, and dof management are all excellent. devil

Hi Bill, i like the simpler composition here much more - I found the previous image a little 'too busy' for my own taste ... Good as I think this is, maybe a focus stack on the front petal (so all in focus) with the blurred back petal as counterpoint (ie as here) might be slightly better ...

Ooh! La! La! as our local gardening guru likes to put it.  A very good composition, Bill.  I do tend to agree with Mark's idea of getting that lead petal all in focus, but this is certainly an eye catcher.
