Wonderfully sharp image and great use of light..straight out of the botany text book.

Very nice focus - is it perhaps too tightly cropped? I like the closed secretive look of the center petals and I like the way the smooth ribbed yellow petals contrast in texture with the skkikey outer leaves., Just the composition that is lacking a punch. Wonder if the image were square whether the dead center position might work better? 7

understated and simple, like the dark front to the lighter middle area. Just the stone and the trees, no flowers, flags or anything else. Well seen and taken, good BW choice....Think this is the best of the Grave Yard shots. Good luck!

A beautiful shot giving us a different perspective on the life-cycle of a flower. The details are very crisp and the lighting is excellent. Well done!

Wonderful close up with lots of fine detail, crisp sharpness and good DOF. Color is a bit muted, but still very nice.
