Hi Bev,
Wow supper capture of these delicate blossom flowers, although the black frame is a nice idea to present the white blossom, I'm not sure about those white messhed squares, they are a bit distractive in my opinion. Nevertheless a fine posting!

interesting with petals jumping out from the framing, the one on the top is cut, why don't do the same as the one in the bottom ?

Hi Bev,
It's nice to see the blossoms out again, you have captured this well and I like the black frame with the blossom poping out, I have to say I am not overkeen on the white squares on the frame though this is personal choice.

Hi Bev,

The blossems are indeed ver eye catching and the presentation over the border is beautiful.
About the playing I'm not quite sure, in my opinion just a black frame with the tiniest of white line would have been enough. However I know it's great to play with the possibilities.

Hello Beverley


Beautiful post!
I like these flowers, they are soft and silky.
a beautiful shot and a beautiful frame. I always liked details in frames, but I already went noticed always that was not well, that they distract them and other things the more.
I don't know, me leaning that that is a personal taste, and of course have good taste as the final art and in the theme.
I was always in doubt with details in frames.
Congratulations, a beautiful compo!

Hi Bev,
Lovely macro of these delicate symbols of spring.
Very clear crisp colors and fine details.
Very tastefully framed image using the rule of three.

HI Bev
You have done it justice as your composition and framing of this flower is flawless. I like the flowers outside the frame but not too keen on the tiny squares as I find it takes away from the beauty of the flower......But that is just me. Perhpas the frame could be used on something with less details.

Very nice, so delicate and yet so well presented.
It's all perfect, lights, color and depth and I particularly think the side lighting is really effective here and makes the image a stand out.
If I had to be critical, which for some reason it seems I do, the frame with the little textured squares bothers me and detracts from the purity of a great image, but that's me and it's not enough to ruin the good work.
TFS,
Wilt

Hello Beverly, beautiful capture of spring.. clear and sharp. I like the black frame and the petals overlapping it but the white squares at every corner are very distracting.. thanks
