They are all great but the last one is amazing. Beautiful color, great dof and focus and fantastic patterns in the flower.

Leona, I wonder sometimes about our human design and our capacities for things like flowers. My theory is that too many flowers are never enough. That last flower is just pulling out all the stops to attract a pollinator, isn't it? Delightful all!

Love them and FD pretty much said it. Not sure if I like the offset framing though esp in the white flower shot .,....almost too distracting taking away from the excellent simplicity of the original.....almost makes my eyes spin trying to keep up with it

Thank you all for your comments. I always appreciate them.
Patrick, I had almost thought the same thing myself, but I wasn't sure so thanks for making that clear. Any input is welcome as that is how we improve. Thanks
