Hi

A fun composition and a fine image - my personal tastes would ideally have preferred a slightly tighter comp eliminating that upper open space, which I feel tends to pull at ones eye. I say this because I think eliminating this would tend to concentrate the view more upon the focal point and enhance that lovely limited DOF look. But hey - maybe I am completely wrong - well there is a first time for everything after allĀ  :mrgreen:

Thanks for sharing a lovely image
Matthew

Lovely warm tones at the center and a pretty view. My preference is for a tighter crop that eliminates the dark areas on the margin - that would simplify this one, and emphasize the color and detail at the flower center.

Nice detail and well done whites. The close in comp is excellent.
