Hi Kostas,

I like the composition with its complimentary colors. Nice work in post processing. Some minor suggestions would be to consider lightening up the center of the flower and possibly cloning out the circular green object in the upper green slice.

Hey Kostas,
Great suggestions by Richard and I agree with them. Remember.....if you try this again use either a some aluminum foil or a shiny pot lid as a reflector to bounce some light into the center of the flower. Nice omp overall!
