Coleen- Good day my friend. This is so beautiful. Soft and elegant. The yellow and pink work so well together and are such a compliment to each other. The lighting and clarity are outstanding. As for details, they are breathtaking with the lines running though the petals and I just love the little openings at the tips. Such a fabulous closeup of this wonderful flower.
Outstanding work
Have yourself a most wonderful day, take care, enjoy #6305041
