@lilminimonka Thanks Brianna for you generous comments, Jenny has lots of flowers in the house and gardens she just loves them, I haven't a clue what they are;)

Great technique, and nicely executed Peter. I really like how you did the lighting to bring out the texture in the flower petals. One of your better shots, IMO.
