      Such a beautiful flower. I can't get over the delicate colours of those petals! Just beautiful!

      This has been beautifully captured.The colouring is beautiful and I love the 3d effect of the curved petals.The drops of water give extra interest
      (.If i were to be really critical i would suggest that the crop is just a tiny bit tight at the top, with that top petal only just in the frame.)
