Nice setup, very symmetrical. Good lighting and background. Pixels seem a bit distorted

I love this shot. The balance of depth of field, texture, colour and lighting are all awesome. The flower takes on an almost alien nature. The only thing I would add would be a bit more space around the subject. Well Done.

The bright white background is too overpowering for me.

Even if the idea is far from original (flower) the color subtility and the technical execution is flawless... seem like a8

Good job at not letting the petals get lost in the white background. That being said, image looks plain and boring. Would've liked to see the flower in its natural surroundings and environment. Flower looks sterile or lifeless.
