    Love the diagonal composition here. Lovely flowers these are.
    I see a bit of masking/sharpening artifacts/halo (around the flower petals) - but I guess this could be addressed easily in PP.

    Really nice composition on this Adrian! Lovely colors and a very nice muted BG. I love the way the light colored petals pop against the dark greens and burgandy's.

    I, too, see a bit of halo around the edges of the petals - could be sharpening or a large crop. If you did some sharpening you might back off it just a bit and see if that helps.

    Thank you very much for the comments!
    I did not used any masks on this image, neither I've blurred anything on it...The hallo ,may be from the size reduction or from sharpening. I repost the photo...hope is better.The full size image does not have any hallo...

    Lovely image. I still see the halos in the repost but it is better than in the first. Looks like you just oversharpened a bit.

    I'm not contradicting anyone, but I'm missing something.
    Halos? What halos?
    Thanks for the beautiful photo.

    It's perfectly okay to contradict. That happens often here. ;)

    If you look at the edges of the white petals, you will see a very bright white edging. That is the halo I was referring to. It's one of those things that you don't see until you see it and then it sticks out like a sore thumb.

    It also helps to enlarge the image a bit...that makes it easier to see as well.

    Lovely! I like the diagonal line, the sharpness of the flowers, the blurred BG, the colors, everything!
