Hi Lady Mirenchu,
I like the diagonal introduction of your blue ladies in frame. I like the soft feel and the texture in the petals, giving the image a soft silky glow. The play between the transitioning light drop and shadows are superb. I recommend adding more canvas on top and bring the top portion of the flower into the frame if its possible, or perhaps it was a deliberate crop; I'm not sure...all in all, I like it very much...:cool:

I agree w/Gus, nice but too tight and partial clips.

[Lance Peters]

Agree with the above comments - so nice that I really notice the clipping.

Nice work :)

I don't find it particularly tight, but agree that more room at the top could be even better. Overall, I like this one. Like the lighting and the overall mood of the picture.

Have you thought about posting on Macro and Floral board board? :D:D

Agree with suggestions and another super image !!! Not sure what you call them but would like to see the little things at the end of the stalk with more color, particularly the ones at the bottom.

Nice color and very good light, the shadow and highlight did real well in showing form and give sense of depth to this image. Agree about being too tight.

[Kyle Marie Barcelos]

Beautiful job, love the colors. I would also like to see more of the flower on top. Everything else is good. :)

Thanks for all your help. I included more canvas and cloned the tips of the petals, hope this version looks better.
Again, thank you very much!!!
