The clarity, depth and amount of detail you captured makes this a beautiful image. I might have cropped some of the negative space in the lower portion, but it doesn't detract from the quality. The flower has an interesting shape and I like that you included the buds in the frame. The exposure is perfect :)

A gorgeous capture of the Columbine. Your lighting is spectacular and captured all the intricate details in this little flower. Incredible details in the petals and stamen and buds of this Columbine. No substitute for good light or the warmth and color it can provide to enhance your photography. Your diffused background soft yet bright accentuates your photography beautifully. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing.

This is really something to see when these are upside down. The focus is great and the green background makes them standout really well. I might have cropped a little more at the bottom but that is just my opinion. JackJr.

Beautifully captured. I love the positioning of the blooms and buds in the frame, and the image is sharp and clear. The diagonal aspect of the stem is visually pleasing too. Great stuff.

This is a wonderful shot of the little lantern flower!. You have framed it well. The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good luck!
