Hi Adrian, pleasing composition, great color control and lovely details. Somehow, I think I would prefer this in a 90 degree CW rotation.

A very fine abstract Arian. Loved the colours and the textures in the petals.
Nice DOF to keep every section sharp.
Might like to see it in horizontal format (as in turning it to the right or to the left).

Adrian, I think the format could go a lot of different ways. I like the one you chose as it looks like almost a fisheye view the way the leaves get wider in the center.

Hey Adrian,
Surprisingly....I am with the horizontal flip too. I really like the light and lines in this and I really like this abstract! Very well thought out and very nicely executed!!!

[Julie Kenward]

I could go either way but I would take a tiny slice off the bottom (right above the signature line) as that bottom petal bothers me for some reason. Beautiful exposure on the yellows - lemony and soft at the same time.

Hi Adrian. Lovely colors and I really like the way the light brings out all the texture in the petals. I like the orientation of the image, as presented, but I agree that this would also look good in a horizontal format. Well done.

[Adrian David]

Thank you very much!

[Brendan Dozier]

Excellent color, detail, and texture on this Adrian. Very nice abstact composition.

[Ken Childs]

Hey Adrian,
It's great as is but I rotated it CW and liked it even better. Nice work with those yellows! :S3:

[Dave Leroy]

Lovely photo Adrian.

I like it a lot. It has such a nice feel to it.

The combination of the soft curving lines and shades of yellows has a very warm and pleasant aspect. Just what is needed on a cold and windy day.

Good eye.

Dave
