Very good, lots of softness both in the colours and the transitions between in and out of focus zones .
I always find this type of subject tricky because it's hard to decide exactly where to focus, as well as being difficult to see the focus point clearly .... Depending on the lens the focus movements can he very delicate.
You've had a good season for flowers this year Gareth! Some great shots in the bag.

Thanks Nigel
In an ideal world you could focus stack and have the whole flower in focus but in reality, even with a plamp it'd still move about too much so I choose to either focus on the stamen, or petals, depending on the image
