Jackie, did you use a macro lens for this image?
I like the angle where your attention is brought in and curved down to follow the throat of the follow. I like the "feeling" of movement when looking at this. Don't know about the bright blue llc though.

Thanks Cheryl, the 100 mm is actually a macro lens. I appreciate your comments.

Jackie, I love the painterly look and the detailed edge of the flower. Great comp......

You did well witht he pp'n Jackie as far as I can tell. It is very nice, and I like the second oof flower also. The llc blue shape does draw away from the flowers a bit. I am also wondering if a tighter crop from the right into the second flower would add to the diagonal look of the arrangement. Well done. Dave

Hi Jackie - love the colours and the composition - the purples are gorgeous.
Do agree about the the LLC :)
Nice work :)

Hi Lady Jackie,
I like your composition, image and capture...the soft feel presented puts this over the top...I like the fine details and the color rendition...my only suggestion would be to clone out the OOF piece on the lower left hand corner, it takes away from your beautiful lady...looking forward to your next one...:cool:

Beautiful Jackie, the only thing bothering me is the LLC, other then that great job:)
