It is one of the most beautiful, delicate flowers I have ever seen.

A little critique will be welcome.

The BG - I cheated! Using an artificial object for the BG.

Thanks Hui.

You are learning, so am I.
No nice compliments please, only objective harsh critique please.

Hi Andre,

It's pretty perfect so hard too critique unless one is nit picky..

I adore the vertical composition (and how the stem leads to the bud), tack sharp focus, soft background, lovely light, and the soft beautiful colours... plus all the detail you captured in the bud and the top of the stem.

Perhaps if it were possible, just a little more depth of field so the prickly bud on the bottom of the stem was also in focus but the leaves remained blurred would be nice, if possible.

Thank you Christina.
