Great shot!
As a flower lover and shooter, I can appreciate this one even more.
Obviously by your score, your photo was well liked.
You did a great job achieving soft focus without making the flower look blurry.
Lighting and composition were good, especially the stem placed in the corner. You achieved a nice deep black background and picked a nice simple border to complete this.
Very nice, good colours, nice contrast between the stalk and the petals. At first the pale orange seemed a little bright, but it's nice against the green of the stalk. Th eborder is good too, nice idea to make it the same colour as the petals. 10 / 10
Just another flower pic. So tiring.
What did I just say? Sorry wrong picture. This one is unbelievable! Fantastic! And what a perfect flower it is. 10
In the top 3 I'll bet.
Very pretty. I like the angle at which you have the flower coming from the corner. The petals are bright yet soft and with the slight droop sets up a very fragile mood. I like that the green stem is darker and does not overpower or distract from the wonderful flowerhead. A classic style and look, i like it.
Simply stunning work. The colours are just beautiful. I love the background and how the yellow flower stands out. Excellent photo and GL in this weeks challenge.
