Gus, It's very pretty-the composition and colors are great! I like the center focus alot!!

you had to be close!! i like the focal point. nice colors and you always have perfect flowers!!!

Like the texture of the flower and the way the petals overlap each other Gus. Great the DOF too. Would love to see it as a big print.

Nice Gus Central placement with selective focus works just fine !!! Excellent !!!

Hey Gus,
I'm usually a fan of more DOF....but this one is working for me. Very nice choices made and the lighting is fabulous.

Stunning image, Gus. I wouldn't change a thing. Beautiful color and I love your choice of focus.
