    Sorry, I don't know why this showed up twice and I don't know how to delete one of them.

    I love the soft draping of the flowers. Almost an oriental feel to them. The luminous petals add depth. When I first looked at it though, on my monitor it did seem to be a bit flat in color (flowers vs background) so I used selective color to add just a bit of black to the greens are reds. Made a difference on my monitor. Thanks for sharing this beautiful flower on what is a cold spring day here.

    Hi Dan. Beautifully seen and photographed with your long "macro" lens! Good overall sharpness against a clean background, nice detail in the whites, and nicely composed. I really like your OP, but Hazel's subtle changes made the image even better! Very well done!

    Hi Dan, I knew by looking at the thumbnail that I was going to like this one and I was right....you've got a real winner here! I agree with what Hazel said and did. It my may due to compression but there seems to be some noticeable noise in that beautiful BG so a run of NR should help to smooth things out. Overall this ones looks great!
