I love the colors in this and the way it flows. The drops of water make a great story and really brings it to life! I like the framing around this and the way you have showcased it with the green on the outer edges.

At first i thought this was a photograph its beautiful and very delicate looking and so realistic. I have never tried digital painting, you, the colours are amazing and the whole image has depth and texture and almost looks like its in a glass globe. its beautiful.

Thank you so much, Forrest, for the excellent review on this. I really appreciate it.

Comment from Wildago
I like the simplicity of the colours here with subtle hints of pink-purple. It looks like the flower is inside a glass bubble and would make a beautiful paperweight if so. I think it's the green that does it most for me, like an expensive piece of jade. Nice work again.

Comment from fletchy
This looks ethereal. The water drops on the petal give it that little extra that turns a good picture into a great one. I really like how the lower petals/leaves look green with the white of the petal shining on them. Awesome picture

I like this finely intricate digital painting very much indeed. Everything is well placed within the frame and there is good detail. Lighting is skilfully handled and the workmanship and textures are very good.

This is so lovely. I wanted to say soft and delicate but you already have. I love the detail in this and the gentle colouring. The green b/g really suits this image. Very beautiful. K.

Jade greens for back drop and dew drops on the petals are so beautiful in composition. Hibiscus presented with immediacy and created very uniquely. Thanks so much

Comment from Paulisa
Excellent. So soft and loving. The colors are so radient, yet soft. The drops of water add dimension to the piece and you have good contrast and balance. I like the way you framed the whole piece in as well. Excellent one. Thanks for sharing
