    Another stunning image, Anita! I don't know what I like the more - the color palette or the subject matter. You've got a great diagonal comp going and cropped at just the right places. (Possibly could use a sliver more on the left side so that bottom curl in the LLC doesn't get stuck behind a mat board.) Other than that - wow. Lovely explosion of colors and forms. I like the Topaz detail as well - it makes this look very surreal and still totally natural at the same time.

    Thanks, Jules.:D I agree that it needs a bit more room on left, and maybe even bottom.

    Anita, Really beautiful colors and comp. I do agree w/ more room on the left and bottom. I like the curves of the flower and the sharpness.

    Beautiful image !

    Sorry, I don't know how to explain why I find it beautiful :o Perhaps because it doesn't look like a photograph ? :D:D
