Liked the shapes and colors inside this hibiscus flower.
Tried something different -without stamens in the frame and the staminal column gradually oof.
Any comments and suggestions are welcome.

Hi Ovidiu,
I like the composition and capture, the center of your flower is placed just right in frame. I like the texture and the soft flowing lines of the petals...my recommendation would be to boost the saturation and contrast just a little, to make your beautiful lady come alive...:cool:

[Alfred Forns]

Agree on the sat boost Lovely image and well composed Particularly like the feel !!!

[Cheryl Slechta]

Ovidiu, this is beautiful! I also love the lines radiating out from the center and I like the placement. Great job!

Gus and Alfred already said it, a bit more contrast to this already lovely shot would improve it. Beautifully composed.

[Nick Palmieri]

Love the colors. real nice composition.

[Christopher Miller]

Love your colors and composition, Ovidiu! Very nice and agree on adding a little more contrast and saturation.

[Jeff Cashdollar]

Good advise given and I like it as presented too, now that is a close up!

[Lance Peters]

Lovely - agree with the advice already given - has a nice feel to it as well :)

Hi! Saturation looks fine to me! I think I would try darkening the edges all the way around to pull the eye inward toward the center of your beautiful composition. Well done!
