    Hi Ovidiu, very pleasing composition and excellent execution (as always). I'm amazed at the DOF you got here!

    Excellent IQ on this, Ovidiu. I am also impressed by the dof. Wonderful bright color, and black BG really makes it pop!

    Lovely colour combinations. Beautiful flowers these and I liked the way you've placed them in the frame, very aesthetically composed.

    Beautiful image, Ovidiu! I like your choice of composition but think I'd also like one that was a bit "looser" where the stem was visible on the right side and the top gerbera had a little more separation between it and the lower flower. You might also see if you can brighten up the center area of the more prominent flower a bit - it feels a tiny bit flat and a boost of pop/contrast/light there might help.

    Very nice, overall and the detail on both flowers is great!

    Thanks for comments.
    Julie, I shot this also a bit "looser" and also tighter/closer. I liked the tighter ones more, because I was not very pleased with the second flower stem (too distracting for me) and covering part of it with the flower looked better to me.

    Hey Ovidiu,
    Outstanding light....the reflector really made this one shine! Overall....very nicely done although like Jules I would like to see the looser one.....as I like the curve of the stem!

    These are lovely flowers! Perfect lighting, exposure, detail. Love the curve of the stem. I may be the only one who is not overly fond of the composition. For me, the lower flower is too prominent--larger and more orange--and for some reason, it doesn't work for me. Perhaps is both flowers were the same color tone and size. Beautifully executed.

    Hi Ovidiu, the light is fantastic, the comp looks good as is but I think I'd also like it better if the nicely curving stem was more visible.
