Comment from Sange
I like the dark background and the fine use of light on this pretty in pink Hyacinth.
Your focus is razor sharp showing fine details on the star shaped to bon curled petals.
Focus, white balance and POV are all working here Jo.
Congratulations on the win ;)

You have captured exquisite details of this flower. Your positioning of the flower stalk inside the frame is very attractive, The colors look good and are accentuated nicely with the dark background.

This is a wonderful look at this Hyacinth! It's very well composed to show the flower and the buds. The sharpness is perfect. The colors are beautiful. The black background is perfect to show off this lovely flower.

Comment from Malmax
This is just magnificent Jo.
You captured the detail and softness in this hyacinth beautifully. Each petal is a wonder and the accessories,
(Leaves and new stamen) add just as much perfection.
Beautiful against the black background. Very nice!
Best of luck in the contest.

Comment from supergold
hyacinths too are pretty in pink;
an excellent close up jo of this hyacinth with outstanding sharp focus;
now imagine the fragrance when you visit Holland during April with fields with millions of hyacinths
