Very pretty flower. Wonderful shot. To be completely honest, I feel it looses some detail near the center. Otherwise wonderful shot. #7682229

Thank you Teresa :-) Yah, the center petals blend softly... due to my shallow DOF. Wasn't sure how it would be recieved here at BP... but I see this done alot in editorial pics in flower mags and such right now... I have a more normal aperture with this shot floating around somewhere too... it's good to see real critiques under a photo, thanks!

Thank you Patrick, always a pleasure to have you stop by. These are easliy one of my favorite flowers right now!
Have a great week!

Marisol, Rajeev, and Ken... thank you so much folks! I appreciate your constant encouragement!!! Thanks! #7691317
