Great shot Jackie, the exposure is spot on, which is always difficult in White blooms. Really good DoF, lovely image , and very pretty xxx

Nice crisp image snapper - good dof control. I have to say it's been a joy watching your skills improve over time.

Thank you all for your help and encouragement.
Stan, you are right I was hanging on to that top flower but trying to get some detail into the bark of the tree, just about managed it but suppose an edit with a few layers and I could have recovered a bit more detail in the top white bloom and still hang onto the bark.
I am finding that one of the most difficult things is to know when to apply post camera editing over and above the basic required. If you decide the shot is worth it and you think you can improve on the basic shot, you then have to decide when to stop.
