| It is the quality of light that first attracted my eye to the thumbnail. WOW! You certainly waited for the right moment. It brings out all the ribs in the petals and nicely highlights the spikes of the cone - GREAT job! |

The lighting on this flower really brings out the shapes of individual petals.
...but where's the bee? (heh, heh) |

This struck me immediately because of that rich, mellow color.
Beautifully photographed with perfect balance. |

| Love the soft late-day light you've found here. That feel really sets the flower off to the best. |

| Beautiful late evening sunlight used in this really helps this shot shine through. Crisp. |

I love the light tips of the petals. I think the center of the flower gets lost in the shadows and that throws the balance off on the photo. A quick and dirty dodging of the center would brighten that right up.
The green in the background draws your eye away from the flower also. For me it almost flattens the image, because the green is coming forward and fighting for attention. If you desaturate the greens a bit you keep the interesting textures while allowing the flower to be the star. |

Dramatic, appealing, and an excellent composition.
I really like the darkness of this composition, as it adds to the drama.
A great start to this side challenge.
Thanks you for sharing this floral image with us.
Our journey has just begun..... |

| Lovely coneflower; great lighting and you got the middle looking nice and sharp as it should. They're wonderful flowers; very popular with the pollinators when in bloom and then later with the finches when they go to seed. |
