Exquisite Beauty

I took this shot several weeks ago, and it's been my desktop image ever since. I think it's one small success for me as an amateur photographer. I hope in viewing it you enjoy the same feeling of peace it brings me.

Aside from very minor touch-up in PS CS3, and resizing, it's pretty much as the camera saw.

62 views and no comments good or bad. Hmm. Is it so dull as a photo that it doesn't inspire comments or is it so nice that nothing more needs to be said? Anyone?

I think the shot is beautiful. The color fade on the petal is beautiful. Nice shot. No one ever comments on mine either. I don't know why.

i find the colors lovely.but the so centered shot doesn't hold my attention for long.sorry..

And before mrosev14 starts in on me .its not all centered things I do not find attractive.but sometimes a single subject needs a folly.

Thanks mrosev14. I commented on your flowers. Sometimes it's difficult to comment on so many images at once. I think if you only post two or three at a time, and larger (up to 1024 x 1024 according to forum rules) you'll get more responses.

That's OK Flo! We're all different in our likes and dislikes—or "Each to his own." as my mom used to say.

I felt like the focus on the yellow color difference and seam of the petals, along with the diagonal positioning was enough to offset the centering.

Thanks for your comment.

Again, the colors are fabulous.they look like a watercolor

I think it's title says it all.. It's breath-taking.

Carl, I figured out what had me going on this shot...for me, its too much stem? I tried it without the stem, and it changed the entire perspective for me...

Thanks Playm. Nature sure has a way of taking our breath away.

Thanks Flo. I'll have to try that. I'll need to take a bit off the top too I think.
