Yeah, I thought the issuance of a tornado warning was an instruction to go into your storm cellar, not set up your tripod...

Absolutely love this! The detail on the petals is amazing and the background/dof is great as well. one of my favorites so far. Very high score:)

I like the position from which this shot has been taken - frames the whole thing very nicely.

Beautiful gauzy layers of petals - very nice in B&W. I'm uncomfortable with the composition, the way the large flower is cropped on the right, and the flecks of light in the background are distracting. I would try either cropping more of the large flower off which would emphasize the smaller one more, and bring the viewers eye to the great detail texture in the large flowers petals. Or reshot and try to include the whole large flower - oerhaps in controller contitions with a solid background.
