A real beauty with the great composition and the pink on green color combination together with the soft light. As an aside, I also owned the Leica 100mm APO Macro in my film days and it is an exquisite lens.

Gorgeous pinks and an uplifting shot-works well with the softer greens behind. I like the other OOF flowers in there too-they give it context and add to the composition.

Beautiful composition of this wonderful flower with enchanting colors and details.
I also like to see the flower out of focus in the background, it balances everything perfectly.
