Absolutely beautiful colors. Very rich with great lighting and saturation. Composition is excellent. The shallow depth of field is very interesting and draws the viewer in to look for more detail. Very creative.

    Thank you Jim. Took a little doing to get the angle I wanted so appreciate you seeing the creative point here.

Very nice composition with great color. The lighting accentuates the color of the flowers. The focus is exceptional. The subject of the photo is well centered. You can see the stamens and all of the petals of the azalea flowers. Well done. Thank you for sharing.

This is a well thought out piece. I like the color palette and the almost circular arrangement of the blossoms. The selective focal points are well set. The crispness of detail of the focused parts at the two blossoms above is impressive and eye catching. The tight framing works well, but I would not applied the picture frame if it would be my creation.

    Thank you so much Cleo. Do appreciate the wonderful review. Understand your point re: border but I always feel it finishes off my pieces. Just a difference in taste.

    Yes, it is. On the other hand, it printed in calenders photos with borders look often better there than without. :o)

Hi Deb!
I've never owned an Azalea myself ( although my niece,Zelda,being a rather serious Witch who's 'big into' spellcraft,poison,& etc.,owns many! ) but I agree with ya 'bout the strikingly beautiful lavender color of this specimen!
It's,like,Awesome and so is your photo of it!
'Good Show',my friend! : )
