Hello Raimundo,
Much better then original version, as this one appears a lot sharper. Still a slight problem with noise in the BG, which can easily be removed.

Excellent, beautiful the white in white color well shot.

Hello Raimundo,

Nice to see this beautiful flower from Brazil. Quite well captured against blurry BG, although little bit noisy. Color of flower looks natural, although little bit soft. I think f/16 to f/22 would give you stunning DOF.
Thanks for sharing,
Regards and have a nice WE,
