    G’day Rosalie,

    Beautifully done and so eye catching with those rich, saturated colours.
    My only concern is: “SQUARE CROP! SQUARE CROP!” Because you have the subject smack in the middle of frame here. 8-)
    Good light and exposure, as sharp as and a good depth of field right through the flower.
    Good work that girl and most worthy for the subject.
