I like the bg lights except I think the one in the center somewhat detracts from your composition. I love the delicate shape of the flowers.

The border works with this fill-the-frame shot. Yes, perfect for a card.

I agree, the petals need to be really sharp. But I like the glow and your choice of deep blue in the background.

Day 3 - Clematis

Comment:
Sometimes the best light for taking pictures here in the midwest is just before or after a storm.
I like that the focus is right on the stamens. I don't know whether increasing saturation would improve this bc I like the soft colors. Maybe a tighter crop right to the edge of the left petals and a tiny bit off the right, maybe to the green line.

Oh, WOW! This was made for soft focus. I agree with everyone - this is very dreamy and well composed.

You did very well with NI as I see no noise and the picture is in perfect focus. The pink flower does look suspended in mid air! Love your title.

This looks like a vintage photograph. Deep rich colors work very well with the texture of the petals. Very nice work, Debbie!

This is commonly known as Indian blanket flower (Gaillardia) in the family Asteraceae (sunflower family). They grow wild in Kansas, but I've noticed a lot of people plant them in their gardens. I just love the bright red and yellow combination.

I'm impressed that you were able to keep the shot in focus with all that shaking goin' on!
Oh, and please stay with this challenge! I think I'll go mad if all I have to make comments on are pretty flower shots.
