I entered this in a local exhibition, and was awarded a "Highly Commended".....I was so surprised, as it is the first time I have entered any competitions. The Exhibition is at the Hunter Region Botanic Gardens, Heatherbrea, NSW for the month of October.

Beautiful texture you have in the petals ... You had very nice light for a white flower..., the composition is lovely...
Great you got an award with this one...

White flowers are so hard to expose correctly, you have a done a great job.
Did you actually submit a print or was it done electronically? I have been printing up some larger prints lately and it amazing how much better a large print looks compared to the same shot at a smaller size.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm
not sure about the former.

Thanks all for the positive comments and encouragement
The lighting was good, it was about 6.15AM with the sun just coming over the trees, the orange highlights in the background is the sun on the grass, thankfully the flowers were in the shade. I did have a play with contrast etc.. but not a lot, it is pretty much straight off the card....
Yes, I did have it printed (8 x12) and mounted with a olive green mat.....looks magic...It is the first I have had printed and the difference was just amazing....
Thanks again
