Melissa- Good morning my friend. Oh girl, I love the look of this. The title saids it all and I love the way it is coming out of the dark. Fabulous composition and DOF. Love the look of the natural background. Its colors really enhance the colors of the flowers. That royal purple is a treat for the eyes. Lighting and clarity excellent. If I'm not mistaken, these are very small flowers, but your defintions and details done to perfection.
