Lovely detail, perfect lights and shadows to show off this spectacular bloom. It's not easy to get whites to behave this well, and you made it look simple.

(Um, if it was mine, I'd probably clone out that little touch of pink at the bottom right corner. )

Tulip Time

Tulips on parade. They are well-seen and well-captured as they march on through Springtime. A fun image to spend lots of time enjoying.

A delightful reminder that you live in Australia where black swans also live. Difficult image to get, and the ruffled feathers indicate the good job you did.

As usual, splendid work from you. Whenever I see one of your images, I wonder "where in the world is MelonMusketeer" today.

LOL, what an interesting treatment and combination. Love the selective desaturation. Sometimes 'half and half' compositions don't work, but this does for sure. Perhaps because the two halves are so completely different and surprising together.

Truly an imaginative image - may you have more dirty windows if this is the result!

Red Gerbera Daisy

Oh, yes. you have the touch for exquisite detail in your florals. This is a good example of that. Love the bright reds and the oof flower in the background.

I do wonder if you could 'double the effect' of that gorgeous flower by deleting some of the b/g either on the right or the left. This nicely delineated flower doesn't need the center composition to make it pop.

As usual, I"m being picky on a fine image.
