Comment from shallemeier
This is a beautiful flower and in macro it looks like soft flowing petals. Coloring, cropping are very nicely done. It looks a little blown out on the upper right hand. Still very nice work, Sherry

Comment from Anne
This is beautiful the way you took it. I like the close up and all the detail you see in the petals. I like the way you see some of the leaves in this. An excellent picture.

I like how the petals all lift up and we can see inside.
nice shadows there
Like the vignette
and the color of this lovely flower
nice perspective on it
the whites look a little overexposed
good fill of the frame

Beautiful macro shot, so delicate and well lit that it appears painted. I like the creative angle which gives depth to the lovely petals. Background addition of some leaves is a bonus.

Comment from PhotoVision
This is a beautiful image, but parts of many of the petals are blown out. Easy to do and almost impossible to fix I find, unless you want to clone like crazy. Liking the vignette which enhances the colours. Nice.
