I really like the soft light and the focus point, the shapes of the stem leafs become less severe with the softer focus  whilst the flower if gently illuminated. I think it might benefit from a bit more space on the top and right perhaps?, just to prevent the illusion that its boxed into the top right corner.  Beautifully done!

Compliments!

bela,  your vision here is really refreshing,  to translate that vision into this remarkable image is masterful.  lovely lovely work!

Is elegant and nice presented,soft light and focus control make this so attractive.

Thank you Alf,

Your advice and input is much appreciated here.

I see the top right corner issue. I was a bit concerned about it, but I thought I challenge the rules and see how it works.

Kind regards

Roger,

very flattering words. My vision is sometime on the edge. Sometime very traditional, sometime I like to provoke the rules.  Your comment is motivating and I thank you for that.

Kind regard

Very nice soft effect and done in B&W. I also think that a little more room at the top would have avoided the cramped feeling. Great image.
