    Kind Regards.

    Hi Satish. What a colorful flower and the water drops add interest. Was this natural light or did you use flash? I'm not seeing anything that is really sharp in the image - maybe HH the 400 mm at 1/250 is the reason? I would suggest adding a little more room on the left if you have it. Also, the very bright orange border is really drawing my eye away from your subject - I think a toned down version of the border would work better.

    Thank you for your feed back and comments,Steve Sir.I am still learning macro with the help of 100-400 mm lens. Flower was photographed just after rain has stopped in cloudy day.
    Image was too bright so I applied linear shadow. here is the modified image. I hope it looks better now.

    Hi Satish - I think we're all still learning macro to some degree or other. It can be very challenging at times. Your repost looks much better - I like the modified comp and the increased overall brightness. The toned down border is also an improvement. The sharpness seems a little better as well.
