Hi Karin,
Another great macro picture of yours. Greatly capturing the anthers and ovule of this yellow flower. Sharp, clear, and neat. Nice details.

good macro..just a bit more 'add shadows' which would down grade the pastel shading and i feel required to focus on the pistle and stamen..if that is what they are on this one..:)
i love the softness in the petal as well..not just a clinical botanical shot but pleasing in an artistic way.
as for the sharpness...its ok on my screen but i will push it in the workshop...
most of the top people here normally dont need to sharpen or do so at 200-300% zoom to watch for the squiggy wiggies..:)
the small area at the top right i feel is vital to balance and normally i would say is distracting..it isnt..it 'compiments' what would have been too broad a brush of yellow

Hola Karin,
Delicada y estética imagen, con unos colores pastel muy agradables. En mi opinión no está lo suficientemente nítida, pero en esta suave imagen esto no representa ningún problema.
Un saludo,
José M.
