Gorgeous shot. A 10.

Veri nice and delicate... I guess the light source is from above, am I right?

Aristide, the light source is the sun which was shining overhead.

I like the simplicity of this one, Donna. Very nice.

Very beautiful with delicious colors, Donna!!

This is gorgeous, Donna!!

Donna, another beautiful shot. Love the light, contrast and how delicate the petals appear.Very nice.

It's like the blossom is shining from the inside, looks like a fairytale, great captured!!!

 

Regards,

Very nicely done. The bit of green in the left corner really adds to this. Nice work.

Excellent lighting, overall a simple but elegant photograph.

I agree with Carlton, Donna. Very nicely done!

Ahh!!! :-)) Love it!! Brilliant!!!

You also remind me that it's easy to get caught up in "mega close macro" and forget the total beauty when stepping back to see the simplicity.

Thanks! :-)) Ivar

 

Very Nice.

I like the texture coming through the petals as you've managed here. Tone is excellent and your lighting is low keyed enough to allow even the stem to stand out nicely. Very elegant.

I like the simplicity too. Morever the shot is beautiful

Thank you everyone for your comments. These blossoms are truly incredible. . .they seem to have an inherent glow that permeates their translucent petals.

 

Ivar, I would like to have gotten a close up shot but was unable to since they were growing at the edge of the lake where the ground was very wet.

Great shot (again!) Donna,

Was the lighting all natural??

Yes, Chris, the lighting on the flower was all natural, but I adjusted the background with ps.

Love the petals .. almost yearning to be touched....

Wow...

 

A soft poem read in the last light.

There is no point adding one more comment to the many already here. It's a good picture anyway.

So exquisitely translucent. Easy to meditate on....
