Lovely. Very minor suggestion: I'd be tempted to clone out the little black splodge (bug?) on the upper petal.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Nicely shot, agree with Kris re the bug, be careful if you attempt the clone that it doesent produce a larger smudge

Great image. Background brings it out even more. (Ahem, had to look closely for the bug...)
Be well, stay safe, but most of all, invest in memories

Thank you all for the nice comments. I had 'smudged out a hairline on the stem as it was in the other pics, I thought it was on the lens.
Just been back in the garden to check for the bug, no bug but found a cat's hair was gently attached to the stem!!!!

Great combination of colours and use of the background plant.

Wow! Love this, a riot of rich colour
I think the bug you could argue a case for with and without, for me, as I could see this as a print on a wall and therefore 'wall art' then the bug must go!
