This is beautiful! Your colors are rich and the details are defined very well. The centers of the flowers and the water droplets look great! This is a very pretty flower.

That is one exquisite flower and you have captured it to perfection! Your framing is good and so creative is your processing to place in a sphere. Your focus sharp and clear capturing nice details of the flower and stamen. Your colors, exposure and depth of field excellent. This is very nice work and thanks for sharing!

This is very original and well done. Excellent camera work with sharp focus. I like the square crop and it works very well. Creative idea by placing it within a sphere. Thank you for sharing

Excellent closeup with everything sharp in your flower. It's bright red color is fully saturated and well framed. Enjoy how well flower pops out like 3D. Thank You for sharing.

Good focus on the flowers and there steins and if the background wasn't so busy this could be an excellent shot

next time try to have a narrow field

thanks for sharing

Pin sharp focus indeed! You really got this one as sharply focused as I think one possibly could. I like the grouping of blossoms. All aspects of the flowers are sharp and clear. No visible rust spots on the petals. Background bokeh is excellent. The piece is imaginative, creative, and well framed. Excellent piece photographically speaking.

This next comment is not meant as criticism nor does it detract from the rating I will give this piece. I think along logical lines so, if the flower is sealed in a bubble, how did the water get on the petals?

This is an interesting and curious piece ... B-)) Bob

    In reality the blossoms are NOT inside the Sphere it only happened inside my computer with the help of Corel Paint Shop Pro, Geometric Effects-Spherize. It gives the effect of holding a magnifying glass over the image.

Some very nice blooms posted here but I am totally lost by your title! The central composition that you use works very well indeed in terms of showing us the blooms and the setting. Your image has good exposure and sharpness. Well done!

    Kiki la Chatte was my little Tortoiseshell/ Calico Cat who lived with me for 17 & a half years before she died of liver cancer.
    She was full of spunk & character & a total egotist....I planted this bush in her memory...full of thorns & bright flowers that bloomMike,
    all winter into Spring...hence the name Kiki la Chatte's Bush.

    I well understand how a pet cat's death can affect an owner. We took on my mothers black cat back in 2000. The cat died back in 2007 and we still miss her. She is now under our lawn next to our garden swing so we do not forget her!
