Nice composed, good color and great detail. A couple of hot spots on the pink petals that could use some work in PS.

Hello David,
What a wonderful macro of this nice flower! Details are very good on all the flowers and buds. I didn't know that those flowers flourish at the end of summer, this is quite special. This is a very good POV and composition, well done with interesting notes. Thanks,
Claudine

Very nice composition David with great POV and colors.

I like it a lot: composition, color, POV, DOF, focus, sharpness, background, lighting, framing, notes and PP.

I don't like it: nothing to argue.

Excellent post... thank you and regards.
