original to see the flower from the back, great idea

Well done! (6)

Bravo Ovidiu, you made a masterpiece out of a single flower! Cheers my friend!

Ovidiu, this is another one of those images which helps to prove the theory that it's hard to beat simplicity. really like the smokey b/g and that touch of orange in bottom left works well. also like how stem is slightly offset from corner, think would have looked contrived if you had of put it dead center. the flower itself is fantastic, have not seen a truer orange in sometime. it's also really nice how you have that small window into center of flower. being as this is of a quality i would go further with, think would not hurt to remove brown spot near top of stem, and also tidy up the ragged edge on petal, think it's just a insect having a munch, but would look better tidied up. a very nice image indeed. well done. 

This is an outstanding well skilled floral work and to me this is Not Simple Quality work to achieve but one in which require a very proper dealing with light and composition.

The floral work pop's up remarkably from the background due to the wise selective of DOF, the colors are vivid and so well saturated while the details of the subject is another add to the over all fine composition.

This a wonderful image, must been well planned to capture and well thought off camera settings, thank you for sharing it and wishing you all of the best.

Hi, Ovidiu, the exquisite composition, subtle light, great DOF, nice colors form to eye-catching piece!    Best regards

Really amazing different capture of a simple yet beautiful subject! Details are wonderful and artful use of light is outstanding! Very eye-catching shot. Bravo.

Love the composition, lighting, color and nice clarity.  The background is perfect for the color of this beauty. I might have cleaned it up a bit myself but we take what nature gives us and this works too.  

Warm regards, Pamela

Superb shot , wonderful composition , great light and colors ...................... Best regards.

Very nice shot Ovidiu! Roger said it all, like the simplicity and monocolor of the shot as well as the arrangement of the petals that make it unusual.

Simply beautiful...
