Have watched the blooms closely to find ones just after they have opened, as these (mostly) white ones begin to look ragged at high mag pretty quickly.

Beautiful! Love the position of the flower, angling down and across--very pleasing. Gloriously soft and gleaming. I can almost feel those delicate petals. Lovely outline on some of them. Lovely texture. The white on white works really well to create softness, while having everything in sharp focus. I find the dark stem to be distracting, interfering with my focus on the gorgeous flowers. I would crop some from the right, and significantly lighten the remaining stem to match the lightness of the flowers. Excellent work.
