I love Orchards what a lovely colour and shape,
Lovely shot, I like that one unopened one drooping off the side there too ... Skippy

Little centered for me. And I'm not sure I like the shadows.

But, I do like the detail and color. I think a tighter crop might have worked better.

A couple of notes
I just tried cropping it closer to try to remove the shadows
but it gets rather noisy
Until you pointed them out, I hadn't seen the shadows

Many thanks for your comments

Shadows were the first thing I noticed. On the backdrop as well as the pedals.

I do love these flowers though, I took a mighty fine one recently on a vacation I was quite proud of.
