Hey Alfred, like the wash of colors in the BG. Good details on the flower, I find my eye going the the orange spot at the edge of the frame on the right side, I would clone the pink over it. Very well done.

Very nice bg you have, love the softness. I agree with the orange spot, but its not a deal breaker for me, Great job indeed. Just a thought, wonder what it would look like to softly burn the edges of the pic, making the flower look like there is a soft light on it......Ol' Scott Kelby trick.

Very lovely image. A slight crop or PS would help. Your current theme is awesome Alfred. Love to try it myself.

Thanks for sharing....

Beautiful, I like the colors and tones. The flower needs to separate more from the background. Some back lighting/side lighting from a remote flash or a reflector would have added an extra emphasis on this beautiful subject.

I think I have to go with the slight crop on the right side, too but dang...that is one GORGEOUS BG! Sheesh! We should all be so lucky!

Excellent use of colours in OOF BG. The lovely BG makes this image for me. Might agree with Julie on cropping a bit off from the right to exclude the bit of yellow petal.
