A beautiful shot with such clear and fine details! The flower is focused exquisitely giving us an up-close and personal experience. The varying shades of green are realistic and wonderful to see. A very appropriate entry into the Green contest, Good Luck!

Wonderful presentation of this coneflower and it's so intricate details like framing of the bloom with little white spikes.
The vivid green colors of the bloom and the background is not really competing with each other, rather complementing it.
Great contest entry!

A very nice piece with crystal clear detail. It's amazing what cameras these days can do. Now, do this same thing with a nice colorful bud of Indian marijuana and then sell it to high times magazine. Incredible detail. Nice catch!

This is an appealing shot. Those many shades of green are intriguing. Your photo is well focused and exposed and has good depth. I appreciate the realism of color and light and the sharpness of detail. Those little spiky hairs on the bud, leaves and stem are interesting. The cornflower is well placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

A beautiful & interesting picture of this Coneflower it's bud opening layer by layer. It's star shaped petals yet to develop their pink colour & their stamens to ripen their pollen. Artistic composition framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Good luck in the contest.
Susan

It is a cool looking flower indeed! I love this opportunity to see the coneflower before it blooms . You have captured it well with good focus, this image is sharp and clear, exposure is correct, the green tones throughout this image appear natural. Well composed and presented! Best wishes to you in this contest!
