Not the same bud as my last post but one in the next stage nevertheless. I also liked the full bloom in the BG. All comments welcome.>=))>

Bill, the previous one was a hit, which I liked very much. This not so much. The OOF bloom in the BG does help to isolate the subject, but not necessarily any better than the main BG. The sepal in the front is partially OOF. Finally, the unfolding petal is bent across the middle. Probably only temporary, but it detracts from the simple beauty of the unfolding flower.

Even nicer than your previous post, Bill ! The setting of the deep purple bud against the oof flowers is very striking, and the framing is perfect. I really can't agree with Phil on this one - that bend across the unfolding petal adds interest for me !!!
