This is a wonderful shot of the pure white flower. You have framed it well. Light and sharpness are very effective in creating a lovely capture. Good luck in the contest!

Not sure I have ever seen a pure white one before and it is just so lovely. Your shot presents it very well with great detail and a nice touch of greenery. Best of luck in the contest.

This is a beautiful flower!
I love the simplicity of the shot. The single white flower with the green stems creating lines is lovely. Superb clarity and detail like the striations on the petals. Just a very lovely photo! Well done!!

This is a well angled shot.
I like the flower!
Excellent focus and framing.
Did you blur the background or is it gloomy?
This is a fine composition <3

Superb photograph of this white Amaryllis, hard to do clean and not overexposed picture - great timing. Wonderful details and overall presentation. If I had six stars I would rate it as such.

I like the softness of this capture which emphasizes the elegance of the flower. The white balance is excellent. I appreciate especially that there is no blow out at the white content. The photo is well composed. The thin green leaves amplify the flower well. The tight framing is adequate. The composition is balanced.

The amaryllis is such a grand looking flower, I have not seen one in white before. It's just lovely!
Well focused, this image is clear, exposure is well managed, good detail in the white petals. Nice angle of placement, well composed and presented! Wonderful entry for the contest! Best wishes to you!

Comment from Barbara L Manne
Again, I am sorry for not having 6 stars available for this photograph. Such beautiful piece of work. I enjoy close up views of flowers since I am a big Georgia O'Keeffe fan! I really enjoy the movement found in this photo. The striking and delicate amaryllis in the center of the work and the sweeping greens in the background. It allows the eye to move from center and to the edges. Stunning photo!
