John you are back with a beautiful photo. I love all: composition, plenty of light, low contrast, pastel like colors, sharp and soft at the same time and a very nice BG with contrasting colors. Excellent work.

Beautiful image, John. Very artisitc and expertly done. My only nit is a couple of small areas of missed focus in the leaf tip and stem just below the bottom flower. I'd clone some detail into those areas. Question: what is the background?

What a nice shot with both the flower and the BG in pastel tones!
Great choice for the BG, very impressive.

Best
