They are colorful. The clarity is great. The angle of the shot of these colorful flowers is great. The capture of the light is great. The image is balance and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall

Comment from Browncat
These beauties have almost florescent lighting about them, which accentuates their shapes and stripes with the dark background. I like seeing the different angles of the blossoms. Very nice!

This is a really nice floral shot of the flowers Pat! I like the contrast with the darker background and nice vignette Good visual and initial impact. Good center of interest. Wonderful saturated colors. The lighting and exposure are well controlled and very good technique and technical excellence. A pleasure to view.

Regards,

Paul E Brumit

These are lovely flowers! You have composed this very well to show this beautiful grouping of four of them. The dark background makes them stand out very well. Great color and detail.

How stunning are these flowers? I've never seen anything like them, but love the stripes too. Great use of colour and light, and good positioning. Brilliant work.

A beautiful little cluster of flowers that is shot from a great angle that enables you to look down the throat and show the profile both. The colors are great and the composition is attractive.

I like the soft baby pink and the leading lines of the stripes. A very nice cluster of delicate pink flowers.
Fine work behind your lens Pat.

A treat to see these beautiful flowers. Looks like a shot of dancers with flowing dresses
shot from the top!You have framed it well. The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good effort!

I haven't come across with this fantabulous bloom with visually soothing color.

Dainty variegation but maybe they're attractive to caterpillars too!
Well darkened backdrop pops out bloom sharply.

Nice perspective & narrow DOF.

This should fare well at the polls!

Best of luck in the contest!

Thanks my friend for that concise review & generous rating!! It's greatly appreciated...
