my gosh gal, your driving me wild! i love all three in this series, not sure in which order, but they are all fantastic images. i can think of a improvement that would knock your socks off. if you have the opportunity to re shoot this composition or anything similar, try taking the shot with a bit of late afternoon sun behind as back lighting. you just wont believe what will happen to those colors. the image will literally come alive before your very eyes. i harp on too much about lighting and flower images. it is just so important. one of nicest things about working with flowers are all those gorgeous colors one sees on a regular basis. the right type of light can just add so much impact to a image. i am just sure it is the key!!

thanks Roger , I shall try that .

exquisite.

Nice image!
