Another awesome picture Annie. I love the look of this beauty. The flower looks so silky and shinny!I love the different values in the flower. The stem looks great too and your lighting is perfect. Love the framing as well. Picture perfect!! Pat
I would give a six if I had one.

Excellent capture of this very iridescent flower. Excellent use of existing light. Good depth of field. Very nice post processing to make that flower just pop right of thpage. Well done, thanks for sharing.

Outstanding! The beautiful use of light and shadow and the vivid color of purple shades and green stems against the black background make this flower just pop. Great presentation, great composition, beautiful color harmony, definite center of interest. It is such a joy to view your very talented work. Thank you so much for sharing this.

Nice composition, I like what you did to enhance the image. This has a great almost supernatural beauty about it. The border is also a nice touch and adds nicely to the overall presentation of the work.

Great presentation and I wish I had more stars. One of the best flower photos I have ever seen. The composition is just great and the color and contrast top notch. Thanks for sharing this talent with us and please accept this cyber 6 for now.

Very good presentation. It is pin sharp with outstanding light . Wonderful contrast and I sure like the yellow enter. I am not sure I would have kept the leaf on the upper left.
