10/10 for spelling, punctuation, and grammar!

9.5/10 for the image (IMO) - personally, I'd deal to that brighter leaf that's bottom left (it draws the eye) and possibly push the colours a bit more. Perhaps a touch more output sharpening too? Other than that, looking good to me.

leaf at the bottom left... you're right. The colour is a tough one. The inner blossom is almost blood red and the outer moves into a very pale salmon pink. lately I have had a tendency to over sharpen so i have been intentionally dulling things down a bit. Possibly I have gone too far.

Nice one.

This is two days running we have had a well exposed flower, no highlights caused by the harsh sun and great detail in the petals, well done Brian.

Great image Brian, nice soft lighting and great texture in the flower. I agree with leaf on bottoom left, other than that, I really like it. Well done
