What a gorgeous bloom! Love the colors and the lighting. Great contrast with the dark leaves. A lot of great detail and focus on the petals and especially those fantastic stamen! I maybe would have cropped out a chunk of the top portion ... a little distracting. Overall great picture though!

Impressive capture!
Excellent choice of subject.
Aptly captured for the contest theme...
Focal attention is drawn right into that Royal colored cluster!
Looks like its selective coloring but its not!
Sharply focused.
Fine features & textures. Subtle illumination.
Nice perspective & narrow DOF.
Best of luck in the contest!

Thanks for sharing...

Very good capture of these Rhodies in bloom. It is that time of year when they burst into color for all to enjoy. Good color and sharp focus against a darkened background. They really stand out. Well seen. Good luck in the contest.

This is a gorgeous photograph of this opening rhododendron.
The lighting is fantastic showing all the wonderful details in its stamens and interior pattern. A very pretty
Purple color that really stands out of the deep green background. Best wishes in the
Open.

Nice photo. I like the way that the BG is darker than the flower. It seems like it has a light on it? Very sharp details and we composed. Best of luck in the challenge :-)

A very lovely photo of a gorgeous lavender flower. Perfectly framed. Beautiful lavender color.
Great focuse and clarity.
Amazing detail in the soft fragile petals. A true pleasure to view. A nice contest contender.

Beautiful purple tones in this arrangement of Rhododendrons, well focused, clear to view, well exposed, the colors and tones are natural, nice detail in the petals and in the center stamens too, the muted background brings the flowers forward. Well presented! Best to you in the contest!

A beautiful cluster of blossoms. The low level of the light gives you a dark background that really makes the color of the flowers stand out. A sharp image with nice composition. Best wishes in the contest.
