I especially like the way the backlighting helps emphasize the subject.

Sure wish we could grow these here in Utah. Our soil isn't acid enough. This is a lovely shot,and I love how the bloom is placed so we can instantly see beyond it, as if this garden had even more to offer. Nice DOF and focus. Lighting is impeccable: soft and gentle with the gentle colors and textures of the flowers and leaves.

Beautiful flower, I wish you could have cropped the out of focus petals out.

The shallow DOF works well here. The colors are so mellow and pastel like, good job - 8.

Like it, but it seems a bit unbalanced. Seems to be a bit too much 'nothing' on the left and too much on the right. Love the detail though!

Interesting shot. I like the angle and the clear focus. Maybe a tighter crop would be better. The right half of the photo seems so void.
