Denise,

Love the feel and flow on this flower. Nice diagonal down the center. Great muted colors and sharpness were it's needed.

Thanks for sharing...

Beautiful soft color palette, Denise. I'd probably add a slice more to the bottom if you have it just to match the width of green on the right side of the frame. F2.8...Roman would be having a cow! ;)

[Anita Bower]

Wowsa! Gorgeous curve and colors. I like that it fills the screen. :)

[Stuart Frohm]

Bravo!
I agree that a bit of additional green on the bottom likely would be beneficial.

No....I'm going to go out today and even if it kills me......take a soft focus image:D!!!
....especially when they look this good!

Thank you all for your kind comments:)

Hi Denise, agree with the comments already given. Another way to go would be to crop out the green BG and draw focus to those gorgeous shades of pink of the tulip.

Thanks Jerry, I did like the curved lines of the tulip and chose to leave them in the comp. Thank you for your thoughts. Much appreciated.:)

Agree with the bottom of the frame addition, but basically this image takes my breath away! The color palette, the selective focus..... it's all good!

Thank you Barbara, much appreciated.
