looking good again, gus. love where the stem enters the frame at the bottom and the position of the petal almost coming back towards you. only thing that distracts me is that oof line on the left side at the bottom of the bud.

Hi Gus, Lovely colors and I keep looking at this one and thinking that I would like a square crop.

[Julie Kenward]

I could see a square crop as well although this is also nice. What I don't love is the super hot whites on the one petal - you totally lost all detail there. The rest of the image is beautiful - nice angle and BG, good saturation of color.

Man, I really like this one despite the suggestions above. I love the way the greens, the purples, and the blues work together. That plus the iamge design and the soft light. I think that you have learned enough already Mr. Gus...

Gus, I like it as presented. Beautiful colors and lighting.
