Beautiful looking comp, Adrian. Nice exp., color & the flowers look very crisp & sharp. They contrast nicely with the BG. Well done!

Good clear image Adrian.
nice colour of flowers, and become strong due to nice contract BG... I like the angle..also. :S3:

Hi Adrian. You and Ovidiu are putting together a very nice series of strong flower images! I love the colors, the curving diagonal flow of the comp, the overall sharpness, and the clean background. Very well done.

[Adrian David]

Thank you very much to all, for the kind words!

Excellent work. Great use of DOF combined with lovely soft BG and perfect placement of your subject within the frame--angle, distance to all four edges of the frame, use of negative space are all flawless. I have no suggestions for improvement. :5

Gorgeous! A perfect branch of perfect flowers. Lovely curve. The stem is positioned just right. Beautiful light and sharpness. Stands out against blurred green bg. Love everything about this image.
