You got in close to those curly Mums! Good job! Can you believe I haven't been to Longwood since March! Plan to go this week.

Beautiful gold colors! I like the composition. Wonderful lines. Just wish that one curvy petal near center was in focus (you probably already noticed that).

Hey Ed, interesting lines, nice details and has a 3D look. Well done.

Love the colors and textures here. Good details and composition. I just might selectively sharpen the three petals that are a tad soft.

Keep them coming!

Hey Ed, I love the colors and lines in this shot! As mentioned, there are a few soft-looking petals but I think some selective sharpening should easily fix that minor problem. Well done!

Hi Ed. The phrase "Gilding the Lily" comes to mind here - the gold colors are really striking! A few potential tweaks have been mentioned above, but otherwise, this is very well done.
