The softness around the edges of the petals sets the mood of this picture perfectly. Love where you have the focus point and the lighting is great. Great Photograph, deserves to be framed and on a wall for all to view. 10
Beautiful. A real gem. Even though the colors are a bit muted, this has a very 'fresh' feel to it. The border works really well with it; the color matches the flower perfectly. 10
