Lone Beauty (View Larger)

I really like how the stem almost disappears between the leaves and the flower. You make a somewhat standard flower portrait special by having the two main elements present and emphasized without the expected stem.

I would have take out the small edge highlights in the lower right hand corner and try to get some detail in the most exposed leaf over on the right. Those two things are distracting to me.

But, so nice I might just have to do something similar.

Very nice image. Strong and clean. Great job. Best regards, Ivan.

I really enjoy the strong design quality -- the natural tension of the shapes and placement. This has a rhythm to it that is very compelling. Nice vision.

A quality B/W.  Love it.  Best Regards,
