great shot, I'd have cropped a bit and blurred out the background some, so the focus is just on the main flower, but the colour and lighting are spot on.

I'd love to see this shot cropped in tighter to really bring out the "main" flower ... the colors are good ...

Very sharp image out of the camera. The tonal range is also excellent. Overall very nice! You seem to capture the mood real well. If you were to do any editing work I would maybe remove that crystal in the background (far right) but that's about it.

I like your floras photos but this one is probably my least favorite. The composition more than anything else is the issue for me. The way the stem cuts through the image on the left side makes this hard to read a bit. It acts as a stopping point. Also, the contrast on this could be boosted a bit. Looking at some of your others and this it seems your black point just isn't black enough which I found more of an issue with this photo DSCF1006.JPG but felt it also applied here as well. I do like the soft aspect as it lends well for floral pics.

This is such a strong image and suits being done in black & white.
I like the light and shade that you have captured, as they seems to enhanse the image.

This has such a lovely softness to this image, and that is what appeals to me. Well done. Just a very pleasing image to the eye. My only suggestion is that I feel the border is just to strong for the this delicate flower image, maybe use a white border.

You have some really nice colors and detail in this shot. I really like how the yellow of the flowers contrasts the deep greens you've got in this photo!

I have done many shots like this myself. I would have cropped in some more. Nice shadows.

This image is a little too busy for me, there is a lot of 'bits' of flowers in the background which detract from the main flower in the shot. Maybe concentrating a little more on the centre flower and having a shallower depth of field would work better with this shot :o)
