Hi Allan, I love the soft pink hues of this cosmos! I always call this hue "petal pink". Love how the flower leans into the image. A very pretty shot! Congratulations on your win! :o) Nancy

Thank you Maureen for the nice review.

Comment from Kathy Banich
Hi Allan, I admire the realism in this image - the natural colors and surrounding foliage. I further find the angle that the stem is entering the frame to be very effective and aesthetically pleasing. The image is crystal clear and subsequently allows the viewer to see the fine details of the bloom as well as its soft texture. Very Nice.
