This is a lovely shot. The colors look very nice. I like the similar muted colors of the background which really make the brightness of the flower jump out. Your framing works nicely in creating an attractive composition. The details of the flower stand out nicely.

Wow! Beautiful work Eileen of the lone purple flower.....nice is your off center composition and your negative space. Very well photographed in beautiful natural light, with sharp focus revealing incredible details in the petals and stamen of the gorgeous flower. Your diffused background compliments your work beautifully. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing.

Wow SF. Your title and commentary about this image is deep. I wonder how many truly can understand the words and connect them to this wonderful image?

Great photo here. The colors are soft and subtle and yet there is a certain drama happening here.

Good eye for seeing this one and an even better Spiritual eye for recognizing what is truly happening here and getting the viewer to take a peek out of their box. Well done SF ~ SF

    Thanks SF, I try to make sense out of everyday life. Feeling alone is something a lot of people feel. Being surrounded by people does not make you feel any less alone. Thanks again SF

    I use to ask my clients if there was a difference between being alone and being lonely. That usually started a discussion that proved enlightening.

    I see it as a big difference, but both can give the same feeling... if that makes sense.

    Yes that makes perfect sense Eileen. That is what became so enlightening to many clients. They discovered that Both are often Choices. And of course feelings are neither right nor wrong. They just Are. Thanks SF.

Nice colors in this monochromatic (sort of) shot. Good focus and details. i like the way the yellow stands out in the center of the flower. The singular flower makes a statement. Well seen and shot.

This is just beautiful and it stands out in such a big way even though it is a tiny bloom, I like the three purple petals with the yellow center detail, this is well focused, the image is clear, exposure is well managed, colors and tones appear natural, I like the large leaves with the purple edges, nice placement of this flower in the frame, well composed and presented!
