A beautiful shot. I like the perspective and the way the blossoms fill the frame. The image is very sharp and the colors are fantastic. Best of luck in the contest.

A very pretty picture of these white lilies! They are focused nicely, details are amazing, and the shadows - light is well done. I like that they fill the entire frame.

A lovely closeup Jirinaspire. :) I do like the stamen angle.
Unfortunately the highlights are very overblown, and the shadow areas just a little murky. But this could easily be remedied when taking the photo - if you add some light coming from the front as well, even a piece of foil or white card to reflect some of that light back onto the shot. Then underexposing for the highlights - which would still show the light coming through but without any missing pixels.
All the best for the competition. :)

Keep creating,

This is truly beautiful Jirina, and I especially like the way the light is shining through the petals of the white Rhododendron petals. I also like the close and personal approach with the focus on the dancing stamens.

The photo is sharp showing such a clear and well defined details in all the stamens, and the exposure is fine.

The tight cropping works well, and I think it is a fine flow and balance in the composition. I think this is a truly lovely and well taken photo with a good DOF, and I wish you luck with the contest.

Cool,Jirina!
That's an enjoyably interesting take on a Floral Photograph,my friend!
It has a pleasantly Elegant sort of a look to it that I really like a lot!

A very good looking entry into the competition posted here! Your fine and appropriate, underneath composition offers us an unusual flow shot to enjoy. Like the soft gentle curves and lighting. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done and good luck!
