Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful! Wonderful detailing and colour, and all without the usual pollen stains that can sometimes ruin shots like these. Looks great against the black background.

Personally, i would have gradually faded out the stem as it dropped out of the frame, but thats just personal taste.

Very good indeed!
