Wow! Well named and well photographed! I love the gesture of the bud!

[Ron Conlon]

Awesome bloom, with terrific color and symmetries. I think aperture of f5 wasn't quite enough, as some parts are a little soft. Still, wonderful shot, and good luck!

[Nancy Bell]

Great symmetry in the main flower and I like the "surprise" addition of the bud!

Congrats John! I like the name. Very nice colors and light, good BG. I like the bud. I would have liked more sharpness/dof on the lower petals. Still very nice shot. I like it.
