Ed, Nice job on this...not an easy flower (with leaves) to get sharp throughout. The drop adds that extra touch.

[Alfred Forns]

Just right for the framing !!! Included the entire flower and like how you cut the leaf on the left side !!! Very pretty bg which sets the flower well !!! Big Congrats !!!

[Mike Moats]

Hey Ed, very nice positioning, like the details, would like a little softer BG, but this one is not bad.

I want to come to this place and shoot with you! How cool to see these in the wild...

I really love the comp on this one as well. I think the BG is good - might clone the one prominent brown spot to green but that's minimal.
