Beautiful image! I love the darkness with the flowers glowing. Your exposure is just right, as is the dof. Gorgeous light and colors. This is outstanding.
Glad you didn't resist Bob, I really like the image very much indeed. The only suggestion I have may not have been practicable but if you had been able to move more round to the right you might have been able to isolate the flowers on the right.
The colours are good and I like the exposure. The focus and DOF is also just right so theta there is a separation between the flowers and leaves.
Hi Bob. Beautiful light, colors, and comp! You might consider toning down the bright spots in the lower left as they tend to draw my eye away from your spectacular subject. Very well done!
