Nicely put in the frame, Denise. Beautiful BG and good details. I find the tiny white spots on the front petal covering a little distracting I'd probably consider cloning those out.

Thanks Jules, I didn't even notice them.:)

Like the composition and beautiful colors. Agree about the white spots.
Also have them in my garden, the last few days were quite windy...hope they wil be still in good condition when the wind will stop:)

Nice job on this one, Denise. For me, those white spots generally pop when I do the final sharpening so it can be easy to overlook them. The only ones that bother me are the ones in the dark areas.

Thanks folks, I'll get on those spots:eek:

I love Chive flowers at this stage--actually, at all stages. Lovely colors, light and direction of the flower. I'd like a bit more dof so as to get sharpness all the way to the top petals. (It is odd that I want this, as I'm usually quite content with shallow dof. Not sure what is going on with me.) Lovely BG colors.
