Purple and yellow are complenentary colors. I think different lighting would have helped bring out the detail in the petals.

Background is too bright, it detracts from the flower.

Color of flower is very uneven. Probably you added too much contrast or saturation.

Colors look too washed out, which is affecting the details of the flower.

It's either my monitor is off or these are not complimentary colors. Yellow has violet and this one is red.

really like the colors, but the pollen on the petals is sort of distracting

I'm guessing that many have commented that this shot has missed the complementary colour based on colour theory. On my calibrated screen I see yellow and pink. Perhaps the processing changed the flower from purple to pink? JMO

2 - I'm seeing hot pink and yellow here, with beginnings of red. A hue adjustment (although realize that is likely what you've done, especially by the look of the yellow stigma), may have helped this. Color/contrast of the flower just too harsh in my opinion. Variation in composition/crop as well, not sure. Too much detail in the flower is lost, again my opinion. Realize this may all have been intentional though.

good shot

Oversaturated -- all detail of the petals have been lost.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Yellow and purple are complementary colours, not yellow and pink. Focus seems a bit soft on the flower.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/26/2006 02:31:58 PM
This is a bit over-saturated for my taste.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/26/2006 02:00:07 PM
Looks pink and yellow here and maybe a bit oversaturated? Interesting composition, though.
