Gorgeous! It's almost abstract, with the white BG and pale but sharply-defined petals. Makes me wonder how it would look with the stem removed....

[Ron Conlon]

Thanks, Diane. I will give removing the stem a go. I had considered it, and now will.

Excellent Ron
I,ve gone down the road of stem rempval but It never seems to look right with my stuff. Give it a try !

I did give deleting the stem a try and it looked all wrong. Will try to make the stem a little more photogenic instead. Thanks.

Another beauty, Ron! Lovely lighting and excellent detail! I like how the central portion of the flower practically jumps out at you! The stem isn't bothering me. :S3:

Lovely image! I like the stem, it gives perspective. TFS.
