A wonderful overview angle of this beautiful and sharply contrasting flower, captured with brilliant clarity and detail on the close up view you have presented here. The image is sharp and the detail and definition on the petals and the yellow and purple colours that merge suddenly to the stamen in the centre are fantastic and crisp. The POV is nice and not the average shot which is a nice touch. The droplets of water on the petals complete the piece nicely - and is accentuated further with the black background. A wonderful capture - great work and best of luck in the polls:)

I can see all of the tiny things in the center of the flower. The sharpness shows that the image has high clarity. This flower is beautiful and the purple is a nice splash of surprise. Nice composition. I guess it is OK to cut off the main subject here. I always get criticized for that, but, admittedly I do not know when it is OK and when it is not. Thank you for sharing and best of luck with this image

Thank you SO very much...I try to experiment with cropping and sometimes it is OK to crop our main subject.
