Good for colds?? Definitely good for the soul!

Lovely, lovely! This image captures the beautiful shape of the petals, narrow then widening. Stunning colors. Beautiful detail. There are a couple of little blemishes I might clone out. I'm surprised that the petals at the top are not as sharp as those at the bottom. This is fine with me, just curious. I've never tried HDR with flowers, but this image makes that look appealing. Definitely good for the soul.

Lovely vibrant colors, great comp and detail.

Hi Michael. Beautiful colors, nice sharpness, and I like the off-center comp. The green background beneath the flower works well. Very nicely done!
