| Super work. Lighting is wonderful. My only nitpicky thing would be that the portrait format kind of squeezes things a bit. Have you tried square or landscape? Really fine job. 9 |

| Wow, it seems to glow! Very cool lighting, textures, and coloring. Only nitpick thing I see is that it seems to float there in the center of the image. A closer crop or a stem securing it to the border may have helped the composition some, but the flower itself is very nicely done. |

If this is inspired by Mapplethorpe, I am glad you chose to Calla Lily collection. ;)
I really like the lighting in this. It's subtle but does a very nice job at defining the depth and contours of the flower. I am guessing some may comment that it is too dark. If so, don't listen to them. They are misguided. |

| Having spent quite a lot of time this month photoing the same subject, I appreciate what you've done here. Excellent use of light/shadow make this a great composition, placement of all the elements of the flower is very well done. High marks from me. Suggestions: no too many - perhaps a bit less black on either to top or bottom to take the flower out of the center? |

| Just a smidgeon too dark... too bad we can't see the stem just a tad more. Love the composition. Very cool. |

| I've seen many photographs of Calla Lillies and this is definitely one of the best. Congratulations on a lovely image. 9 |

| Great use of lighting. I rather enjoy flower pics, and I REALLY like the way the light backlit the inner flower. |
