Beautiful color and IQ on these Lilacs, Ovidiu. Nice exposure, like the detail in the buds, and BG works well. Nicely done as is, but wondering if adding some room down below and showing a little more of stem (if you have some) would strengthen the overall composition.

Nice color and detail work. agree with Brendan on more canvass below.

This is gorgeous! Just love the simplicity, the colors, the flower. Did you take this indoors or outside? What post processing did you do? Wonderful image.

This was taken outside, shadows/highlights, curves adjustement, levels, vibrance, sharpening, as far I remember... nothing special.
