I did not see the photo posted on April 26, so I can’t compare Giuseppe. However, this flower is gorgeous. I like the golden reflections on the tips of each petal. And the delicate folding of the tips. The whites have beautiful detail and the center of the flower has nice detail and depth to it. Nice capture.
In a perfect world I’d like to combine the two images. This one for the brightness and angle of the flower in the frame and the other for the placement of the stem. Both are technically excellent and pleasing to view. If forced to choose, I’d choose this take because of the lighting.

I just love this! What looks to be gold on the edges of the flower is just the icing on a beautiful cake! Well done.
The two images have completely different feels to them, Gigi. I like both of them a great deal, but my personal taste leans toward this one. I really lie the crisp focus of the center while the petals still retain a soft enough feel to be soothing. I know you don’t stack images, but I do thing a second frame with the stem in focus and some manual blending would make both these excellent images even better.
I like very much how the flower is poised over its stem, Gigi - it seems to have a personality ! Lovely image.
