A gorgeous grand opening of this flower meg.

Your colors are so lively and so full of details in every part of the petals.

Wonderful image.

a very good close up Meg of these pinkish purple rhododendron flowers;
Central framing works well; focus is very sharp; unfortunately the leaves Don't look natural: too grey, like covered with dust;

Fantabulous bloom looks refreshing even without the ubiquitous droplets...
Enigmatic subtle colors.
Subdued illumination.
Sharply focused.
Nice square format framing.

Good perspective & long depth of field...

Thanks for sharing...

Nice capture of a beautiful bloom - I love to see how it enfolds with the ex tern blooms open and the center coming last - a picture that is well framed - clear and sharp your contrast is good, color saturation is good - I do not know if this is the genuine color of the leaves as often in the morning the air brings a real tone into all. I think with a slight color adjustment into the greens, that picture would just radiate -
I think you have found the perfect angle and the bird view shows nice details - well done

I really like the gray green leaves as the backdrop to this pastel lavender flower. The cluster of feather edged tulip like flowers that comprise this blossom are just lovely. The center cluster of unopened buds look as though they are made of satin and the light reflects on them in a most interesting manner.

A lovely flower. The center composition works well to show off the loveliness of the flowers. An interesting artistic decision to black out the leaves so that the pink of the flower pops.
