 Almost no processing other than convert from RAW, rotate, sharpen, Hue/Sat, shadow/highlights, resize, sharpen, border.

Simple and elegant. Lit with a bounce flash.

You know, other than my ladybugs, I have never scored above a 5.7 with a flower shot...

I like the bright white flower against the black background, it gives good contrast!

I would have liked to have a little more space between the border and the flower.

I thought about doing something like this. I love the composition and the way it fills the frame. Beautiful lighting.

Lovely & graceful, like ballet. School theme is good counterpoint to the charm of this photo.

Nice background and good symmetry. I think it would maybe look better without that lone leaf. 8

Beautiful range of tones in the highlights. The leaf distracts a bit from the overall symmetry that at first appeals to me.

Nice clean image. A part of me wonders whether or not you could have split the side petals to give even more of an impression of seeing through the whole flower rather than just into the center. Very nice work overall though.
