This is beautiful, I love the color palette! It looks like a watercolor to me and I love how the colors blend. I especially like how the colors bleed over into the framing - that's a really nice touch. Nice job!

You've achieved a great effect with all your work, and I love the sort of 'picture within a picture' effect you've created. Lovely subtle pastel colours merging into the deep velvety red of the inner core of the flower, and that lovely bright stamen that draws the eye immediately: beautifully done, thanks for sharing it.

I have played around with some like this some. the initial impact, creativity of presentation, color harmony, center of interest, technical excellence, technique, story telling ability and lighting is all great.

You did a wonderful job, the end result is amazing.
I love the it all, the matte is beautiful plus the the dark center below the Stamen adds great DOF. You did a wonderful job!

This is fascinating the way you have done it. I like the softness of the colors and the detail you see in the center of the picture. A very creative and unique picture.

Comment from A.J. KING


i don't even understand the process of how you got here, but the final image. is worth your trip. textures are really nice. colors soft but saturated. the center stamen certainly attracts the eye. just a bit too 'bright' at the sides ...for me... like this image, it nice. thanks for the post.

This is very nicely presented. I can see it hanging in a womens waiting room like radiology, or even the surgical ward. Great soft colors and details. Thanks for sharing.
