Would really appreciate help with composition, sharpness? saturation? anything else?
I agree with Kaushik...I do see some noise issues. I like the level of saturation very much and also how the top drops are so crisp while the others fall away as you progress down the spiral; however, you've missed the very center of the rose and that's really too bad - that would have put it over the top for me. This is a tough angle to get it all just right but I'd rather see it pinpoint at the center and losing focus as you go out. Really nice try, though!
Hey Bob,
Great Suggestions above. The are tougher than they look!!! Deciding where to crop in camera because of the leaf swirls makes composing challenging! I agree with Jules on the focal point too but at this close working distance....even a slight change in angle can make a huge difference! Colors look excellent on my monitor too!
