I like many things of this photo: the arrangement is clear with the flower on a green background made from the leafs; the composition with the flower in the center is also very got here (rule of third is not always the way to go); the frame is good too; the colors and light are very good too. What I do not like is the sharppness or focus: I realy don't get what happend to the image. Can't say that it is out of focus but somehow it looks like blurring, double exposure or so. Is it from the digital sharpening?

I like the composition of this shot, although it looks like you have a bit of camera shake in the shot perhaps. Not knowing your camera it's difficult to tell how good a job this is - some camera's make this shot easy, on others this would be an extremely good attempt. Good work.

The only problem that I can see with this picture is that the top edge of the flower petals, and the lower edge just do not seem to be crisp! Almost like they are out of focus! I like the contrasting shade of green from the leaves, which provides a nice backdrop! I think if those leaves were slightly out of focus, the flower would be a bit more pronounced! One more thing, I just do not like the border! I find it really distracting for this shot! jgillard6

The colors are magnificent. I think I would like to see the right-most leaf in full and it's cropped off. Focus is excellent

O.K, so the border colour was a bad choice.
