I always forget that half of the world has different seasons than the other half. Seems strange to me that you're talking about autumn and we are just approaching summer. Very pretty flower that you captured in this photo and I love the petals that almost look like tissue paper. Pretty pink and your focus and exposure are right on the money. Very well done and thanks for sharing it.

Excellent framing of a delicate, shy, pink flower. It fill the frame quite nicely and is pleasing to the eye and emotions. The rippled petals add a quality of demure innocence. Thanks for sharing. Good job

The camelia is a wonderful flower. I lived in California for many years and got to view many lovely camelia bushes, some single and others beautiful doubles. Nice work on this photo, Patricia

An excellent shot. I like the details in the blossom and the rich colors. The cropping is very nice and the texture in the petals is eye catching.

A simple but very pretty flower holding on in the cooler weather. Like the dark background, nice sharp focus and framed to show the pink and delicate details. Good one.
