A Single Flower (in colour)

Congrats on this image. The colors blend well from the dark edges to the purple petals to the yellow core. The points of the petals are sharp as are the lines in them. Exactly what I had imagined when I set up this competition.

I love the perspective on this image. Showing half the flower gives this photo an edge that makes it interesting. The detail of the waterdrops and the center of bloom is vivid and focused too. Nicely done and thanks for entering.

I love the lighting on this lily. The highlights are especially wonderful, capturing in the folds so well. The colors blend well too, especially the fade on the stem from green to yellow to the whiteish purple on top. Congrats and thanks for entering.

I am always fascinated by Birds of Paradise flowers and your capture is so vivid. The colors are vibrant and striking against the dark background. And the lines are strong and sharp going in all directions except downwards. . Nicely done.

I love the simplicity of your flower against the strong cement of the wall in the background. The lines almost cutting through the flower are strong, only being stopped by the flower itself. The flower being offset from center of the image makes this picture interesting as well. Nicely done.
