this is a remarkable image Bob, the detail is superb and I like the exposure. I see you cropped 20%, I wonder if a slightly larger crop would have enabled the flower head to be a little lower and to the left?

[Steve Maxson]

Hi Bob. This is a striking image with vivid colors and excellent sharpness throughout! Your pano crop works well, though with a flower like this, I'm guessing that there are a variety of other comps that would also look good. :S3: Very well done!

Nice image illustrating the versatility of this flower as a subject!
