This image works on the level of making viewer "feel" the flowers, with the great use of texture. #579472

This is a showstopper. You've got all the veins on the leaves, excellent depth of view. I love it! and the colors complement each other. well done. It's difficult to get a fresh approach to florals. Beautiful. Claudette #3757864

Hi Dean. Flower images are just not my thing so I usually scroll past them as fast as my mouse finger will work but your image is just great. The contrast between flowers and leaves really holds my attention. Have to say too that I'm pretty darned impressed by you knowing the latin name for these!
