Ed,

I like this. I would like to see more "pop" to the flower and the one leaf to the right of the flower is a bit distracting to me. I might try cropping more on the right or perhaps selection on the leaf and darking it up some would probably be better. Thanks for sharing this. I am learning a lot looking at the images and critiques in this forum.

Hey Ed, really nice image, I tend to like black BG this this one has. I think Roberts idea of cropping the right side is a good one. That right side pad doesn't really add much to the image so you woudn't miss it. The yellow pops nice against the dark BG. Well done.
