My knowledge is limited in this type of photography, but this is simply exquisite.  Beautiful color, excellent composition, and an outstanding presentation.  It has a wonderful 3-D  dimension to it.  Great stuff.

I really like the composition here with the balances leaves at the bottom. but above all the flower stands out so nicely and is a very pleasing photograph.

All natural, a lupine after a rain shower. Not extra lights, etc. Early morning.
