An excellent image of this delicate pink Gerbera Daisy, Mark. Well composed with your placement of the inflorescence in the lower right corner, the most distal petals of this bloom so soft and smooth as they lead in to a whorl of shorter gathered solids followed by layers of striking white and yellow two-lipped florets around the tightly woven central disc. Outstanding detail and a timeless capture of this intricate flower’s beauty. I hope your absence from posting is not long since your presence here will be sorely missed! #7887196
