The delicate light and detail at the center is beautiful.
If it were mine, I'd adjust highlights slightly to reduce the brightness of the sidelit petals.

I really like this composition. I do agree with Tom about adjusting the highlights for the petals and the background.

Tom took the words right out of my mouth, I agree with his comments on this lovely image!

Hi

I like the boldness of the composition and lighting effects - perhaps a little over done in the highlights, or perhaps a little reflector usage would have helped even without killing the lighting effect - but either way a nice shot of a smashing bloom


All the best
Matthew

Yes, I should have used some shade.
