Really good - you have achieved the rare thing of making the photo prettier than the flower - was this taken during golden hour?

First, thank you for looking and the kind words.
90% of the time I compose during the morning golden hour time frame, but with these, I had really good cloud cover/diffusion in the early afternoon with low wind. Sometimes I get lucky and can create in the afternoon.
