  Very striking photograph, Frank. I like the delicate lighting, the soft cool colors of the image. You have put together something that is well lighted, sharp, clean and simple.
The key thing is that you did not chop of any essential part of this astounding flower heart…Great work! I like how those you place your main subject, I can experience the feeling of movement, it take our eye into the center of the frame.
Your shooting angle is excellent! You have high quality light. There are not any dark
Shadows, overly bright highlights to distract us from the subject in the middle of the frame.
You should be pleased with that shot.
Best Regards,
Eugenio

  Reynaldo- Good morning my friend. Hope it will be a wonderful day for you. Thank you so much for the wonderful comments that are so encouraging. They do have a unique center that will change. All the things you see here will fall off and leave the fuzzy brown center. The next stage I think is where red seeds will grow out of it. I appreceiate your support and friendship. They are priceless.
Have a wonderful day, take care, enjoy
