 I really wish I could have cloned out the dark object in the upper left corner. I really like this shot otherwise.

Blue curve was lowered slightly to remove blue tint from snow.

Focus seems a little soft...

A nice shot but I need to FEEL the texture - I'm afraid I don't!

Pretty colors and nice composition, but the focus seems soft overall, and the brighness of the sun should be at the upper right, not the lower left.

Needs more attention paying to the BG in my opinion. Kind of off white and plain.

I think this could have benefited from a little more unsharp masking, as it lacks a bit of crispness. That having been said, I like it.

Focus/Dof could be a little better.

Nice lighting & exposure. I think the vertical stem somehow distracts in the composition

Would have liked more DOF focus on the flower, but I like the lighting.

Almost Brass quality to that bud. DOF might be too extreme for most, but a competent shot. Doesn't have a texture that grabs at the eye, but better than many.
