The color and detail in this shot is just excellent as is the contrast between the white flower and dark backround. Congrats on a great shot. Katherine

stunning clarity and bob on exposure. The image really pops out!

I often debate to myself the composition of these type of shots; center? slightly off center? way off center? thoughts? Did you try a variety?

Either way, tremendous image.

A truly awesome shot depicting the qualities of the perfect macro. Amazingly beautiful colours, sharpness and detail complimented with the perfect composition and presentation. A sincere 'Well Done'!

Outstanding shot Jack.Congrats!I'm wondering what type of flash you use here!Thanks

I have never seen this flower before. It has very interesting petals and colors and your photo shows these details very well. Beautiful.

This is a beautifully presented shot. The black background almost makes this flower jump off the screen. I love the vividly contrasting colours. This flower's symmetry is almost perfect - just enough incompleteness to remind us that we didn't make it by machine! Thanks for taking the photo and sharing such a beautiful piece. David

btw.... larger view is freeking awesome!

Really beautiful work, Jack!

To all who have commented, I thank you very much. Your continued support and comments is very much appreciated!

Amazing dahlia and wonderful capture!

The multiple tows of leaves gives this image a great depth. The exposure is perfect too. I wonder how it would look if you had placed it dead center!
