Perfectly captured delicacy of the flower – appears a bit dark, though!

The light here is divine, and the bokeh creamy and very good to support the bloom. Very well done.

Nice flower shot. The colors are nice.

Nice and soft and romantic. A bit more light over the edges of the flower would be better though.
