Nice DOF. Great effect on the lights using the star filter. Slightly underexposed in the rest of the areas.

I like how you have used the backlighting and still had a nice darker background to suit the flower. Nice shot.

Comment by sekarmalathy:
The harsh sunlight doesn't seem to suit this flower shot. With a softer lighting, the exposure would have been more pleasing IMHO.

Clean exposure. Love the background. Not sure of the placement and compo. I would crop the left part of the BG a bit.

Thanks

Comment by ineedauniquename:
out of the three this is the shot I would go for. As an image in itself I like it but it is physically too dark (leading to too much noise). You need the same shot, same lighting but a longer exposure then probably use curves to bring (what would be) the too bright picture down to the darkness you have here.

Nikon Capture NX is what I use, the interface sucks but the image processing it offers is really rather good.

Comment by michaelmonn:
i love the angle as well as the position of the light. the tone makes the flower seem even lighter/ more delicate. i agree it could be sharpened a little more agressively

Comment by Shutter-For-Hire:
i agree, flower looks great (aside from some fill light/sharpening/saturation increase and some curve ajdustment to pop contrast) but the white background is distracting

The flower came out very nice; the white in the background is slighly distracting.
