Love viewing your flower images Deb and your information is always interesting. This one is no exception you have achieved sharp focus and good dof. The full frame composition is great. :) Mary

I really can't say a whole lot about this photograph. However, I will anyway. I think it is beautiful. Your images in perfect Focus. I love the vibrant color. Framing is very well done. Exposure is perfect. Thank you so much for sharing.

A spectacular shot with beautiful detail. The colors are superb and really stand out well against this dark background. A great looking flower and an equally fine image.

What a gorgeous purple presented here and structured so well on the diffused backdrop that enables a really good enhancement of the beautiful flowers. The sharpness of your focusing is excellent and structured nicely within the framework. The added notes are informative, thank you
