Very nice. Nice depth and composition. KP

Lovely flowers and fine composition--a splendid trip down arboretum lane..nice series !!

you're lucky to have such a nice arboretum! makes a super series of shots. thanks for the interlude

Ahh, showing off your prowess as a photographer here. Shallow, selective depth of field and putting the sharp subject off center add a lot more interest. Truly a delicate bloom and lovely colors. Well done. Looking forward to your next brain dropping!!! ='D

What killerpumpkins and TwoPynts say: impressive float and projection over depth, by means of both color and focus. Now about the compression algorithm in them thar thumbs (thar she blows), including for .GIFS, hehe. An ARTIST COMMUNITY. is it? Have combed the deep, and I still don't know how to access YOUR F-page....which is always worth delving.

This has been a lovely series indeed. Well done on all of them, now back to cats with spinning eyes!

I agree with the other comments about the DOF and the focused part off center. Few photographers seem to grasp this simple concept. :-) This is extremely nice and a lovely capture too. In addition to that, the thumbnail was really good the way it was cropped, too. Such a delicate color and lighting. I like everything about your entry.

A beautyful flower. Love the intricate patterns. And a well executed photograph.

Those are truly gorgeous flowers. I love the lavender color with the stripes on the leaves. Very beautiful shot. Excelllent in every way !!!!!!!

the speaking flowers!

Very nice detail with the dark veins. Excellent series, thank you for sharing them.

Yes, the DOF is great as is the composition, but what strikes me is the crystal clarity and fine detail of the petals. I also like your choice of subject. Well done!

Lovely floral capture! :)

the color is so beautiful. excellent capture Eric

I am SO jealous! I love the crisp snapshot! I am going outside right now and taking a photo of my hollyhocks. I bet it won't look half as good as this. So beautiful Eric!
