Hi Richard,
This is a real beauty - I love the BG and the diagonal angle of the flower in the frame. Would be thrilled to have taken this one!
Regards,
Nicki

I love the diagonal and how the flower fills the frame, lovely colors and a nice "soft" feel to this. Just the right amount of light.

Wonderful image, Richard! I love the way the edges of the lotus fall off into the dark BG (background). You set a lovely mood and picked the perfect composition!
