This is really an artistic and interesting view of the rhododendron flower with a unique presentation. I love the creativity and artistry that went into this look. Beautiful colors and background give this a wonderful abstract feel. A real pleasure to see something this different.

A lovely vibrant bloom indeed.
I am enjoying the close up vantage point. Such wonderful detail and texture.
You added effects present very well adding almost an artsy paint feel.
Well done and a pleasure to view.

I like the filter effect that you have chosen to increase the interest of this beautiful image. It has a painting quality about it.
Lighting is lovely and so is the composition and cropping to show one single flower. Well captured!

Wow! This is beautiful ! I love the shape of this flower and the color! It's such a vivid pink tone, this is very well photographed, with good focus, the image is clear, well exposed, colors and tones appear natural, your edits give this the look of a painting! It's beautiful!

Ah. A very well done work here Mary Eileen. I like your after photo work on this one especially the filters. It as a dream like quality that approaches a soft abstract. Really well done Mary Eileen ~ Steve
