This is packed with beauty. I'm wondering if the greens were desaturated a titch, if the flowers would stand out more from the background. I think the composition would have been more pleasing if the back bloom was removed--but then again, if it's not our plant...The wide black border seems a little overpowering to me but that could just be preference

Tried de-saturating the green, i think it loses it a bit then. This is a lovely flower shot Pat, you should be proud you took it. Not sure about the very wide border though!

Thank you both for you time and thoughts. The border is a habit from my camera club. I will take on board your comments. Thank you
