What a great job on this image. I really like the single hue. The detail is perfect where it needs to be and the background is out of focus as it should be but still maintaining the same basic color. Great job and best wishes for the contest.

The Autumn like colors are simply Gorgeous!
I love the deep pumpkin spice like orange of the Dahlias against the Burgundy wine like color of the leaves.
Your photo is sharp and your use of natural light is superb.
I truly enjoy the visual eye candy your photos offer me without affecting my allergies. ;)
Magical, majestic, elegant and oh so loverly!
Impressive photo and edit.
:)

Very beautiful, I can only guess at the artist. :-)) The colors are amazing, perfect detail over the blooms and leaves. Grand support from the background with the rays of color and light. Fantastic zoom effects and layering. Thanks for sharing and good luck!

Oh shoot. I wish I hadn't bothered to enter. This is wonderful, your style is always outstanding. I have Topaz lens effect but have no idea to get the results you are getting. No need to wish you luck. This is a winner for sure!!!!

You've shown us very artistic and interesting arrangement of flowers. The colors are new to me. The buds look like snails or dates! Excellent lighting and composition!

This is absolutely breathtaking. The warm colors are absolutely gorgeous and the flare you put in the background is both creative and well executed. Superb detail shows what a true joy this flower brings!
