Splendid! Great colours, pastel wash, and mirrored plant in the background.
These aren't exactly that common around here either!

Oh boy...this is really nice sebastien. The detail of the main star is excellent against that nice soft background with the oof duplicate.

A superb flower with a wonderful curving stem. Lovely pastel tones, excellent composition with the background flower.

The softness, the subtleness of the grasses, the almost-mirrored image bloom in the background all lead to an excellent capture!

I just love the shooting angle and depth of field. I very much want to make flower portraits like this. Very successful. It almost feels like it could use some CCW rotation? or maybe I'm just off this morning - lol
