Hi Bob... beautiful detail and exposure... would maybe down the saturation on the purples... there seems to be a bit of pp debris on the bottom and on the left top corner... would remove the stalk on the right in the bg... otherwise WD!

Beautiful shot. The black BG is great here and work very well with the fantastic colors.

Hi Bob. Lovely colors and nice sharpness where it most needs it! I like the slight diagonal tilt to the flower and the black background works very well here. I would agree with Jason about cleaning up some cloning artifacts (?) in the background - an easy tweak to improve an already strong image.

Very nice Bob! The minor tweaks will make this one shine!!!
