Sam- Good evening my friend. This is such an outstanding floral presentation with amazing colors that pop and are just so beautiful. The red, the off yellow, the green of the background are so vivid. Outstanding composition. The lighting and that stunning clarity give it a high gloss look that is incredible. Textures drawn out with fantastic details and I agree with everyone about the water drops giving it that extra something that makes it a great picture.
Talented camera work.
Have a wonderful night, a sensational tomorrow, please be safe and take care. #6362038
