I wish you had gotten a bit higher angle as not to get such flat view of hte flower. I love the glow and the dark BG. Where's the Bfly?????

I tried to shoot it as a floral landscape. I have it from different angles too and with and without butterfly.:)

The glow and the deep richness really make this image for me, Michael. I like this angle but usually prefer it more with a nice long stem on the end - it really adds to the dramatics of the angle.

Hmmm...I think I would like to see this either shot closer or father away.

I like the colors. The orange goes very well with the dark green of the BG.
The central composition works here.

Very dramatic Michael... I like the edge on view and the composition as presented. Fantastic light. Well done.

I like the spotlight on this flower. Nice contrast against the BG. I like the angle as it highlights the curlicues.
