Hi Mirenchu - Our resident flower genisus is on Holidays (I think) - Like how you have placed teh centre of the flower in the upper left hand corner - the reds and yellows work well together. The Left hand bottom corner is a little darker than the rest of your beauty, might consider some S/H there - just a tad.

For my tastes - its a little busy, Less is more sometimes - Just my tastes!!!!
Good show :)

I like the colors and textures you have here. I think I would try a tighter crop to bring attention to the yellow and oranges, which are so nicely in focus. I find the green corner distracting.

Very colorful, the crop does not suit me but having no experience with photographing flowers, I could be "out to lunch".

Cutting off the top leaves me feeling the picture was not composed properly. Your work is stunning, I just need to better understand why you choose certain composition structures, that might add clarity to your art. For example, in bird photography I might say, the image was taken in the air to show the beauty and fluid motion of flight.

I realize this is not bird photography, just giving my 2 cents - nice work.

Tough choice regarding dof ! Would be interesting seeing what it looks like the other way wide open I'm just having trouble withe the two sharp areas and being a little darker Do like the composition and vibrant colors !!!

I agree with Al on the DOF. My eye tends to wander. Very tough image to get just right. I love the colors. Maybe a good candidate for Helicon Focus where you can merge several images to create greater DOF. Good job!! Congrats.....
