A walk through the Gardens gave me this stand out.

Hey Bill, I like this image, it has great contrast with the red flower against the muted BG. The BG also has a nice soft focus look. Center of the flower could use a tad more sharpening. Well done.

I like the comp, the nice soft light and the delicate colors. I like it as is. Good job.

Thanks you guys. I was thinking the same thing about the sharpness. I need to get into the habit of using focus lock (been a birder) or breakdown and start using a tripod. UGH!

Lovely image. Nice placement of the flower in the frame. The colour contrast of the flower against the subtle green BG makes it pop.
TFS.

Very delicate and elegant, love the muted light. You're on a roll!

[Bill McCrystyn]

Thanks you guys. I'll try to stay focused (no pun intended).
