This is so Dramatic Eileen,
its placement on the diagonal
is the perfect way to emphasis the beauty of this image. I love the sharp detail with the delicate bokeh in the background. Really a stunning capture and an excellent title! Love it!

I really like the simplicity of this photo, and the flower just looks great. I also like the bokeh showing in the nicely softened background, and the flower is standing out from it in an excellent way.

The lobster-claw is pin sharp with clear and well defined details, and the exposure is spot on.

The cropping is perfect, and I like the diagonal placement of the flower within the frame. Indeed a lovely and well taken photo Eileen, and with an excellent DOF.

Wow. What a Dramatic image you have here. The diagonal format is perfect for accenting the bold yet artistically subtle colors of the yet to open flower.

The background works well to accent to emphasize the flower. Well done SF ~ Steve

That's a very nice composition Eileen. And your color management is well done. I like the green background because it does show off your flower nicely. The focus is nice also. I like that you talk a little bit about what it is you're photographing and educating us. Nicely done

a wonderful close up Eileen of this huge Heliconia bud; perfect diagonal framing with outstanding sharp details against the muted green background;

A beautiful image that is well composed and shown in gorgeous colors. I like the diagonal placement and the detail in the bud. An elegant image that is very appealing.

Very nice image of this opening blossom. The title is apt because of the power of the strong diagonal line. Sharp focus on the blossom show much detail. The soft background helps the blossom stand out. I am bothered a little by the bit of orange in the corner, it really pulls my eye down to it. Maybe try cloning it out or darkening it more. Good shot!
