Comment from Angelheart The First
Hi Jack,
First thing is welcome to FAR.I'm sure you will enjoy your time here.This is my 10th year.
When I pulled this up to view,it was heart-stopping which gives it wonderful initial impact.
Also,the close-up with the great framing is excellent.The color pink of this flower gives it an almost dreamlike vision.All things,technically speaking i.e. focus,clarity,dof and lighting are all spot on.This was a very enjoyable view and very deserving a six star rating. I wish you the Best of Luck in this contest.Thanks so much~
Angelheart
