    Nicely done, Kostas! I noticed right away how beautiful your choice of crop and composition was. It fits perfectly in the frame and puts my eye right on the center of the plant.

    One other thing I noticed is that the magenta feels a little tiny bit oversaturated in places; you might try pulling it back a little.

    There's also a small dot of dirt/dust on one of the lower petals and it would be nice if you cloned the petals closest to the middle/bottom all the way to the edge of the frame so that little bit of gray didn't show through.

    Hi Kostas. Beautiful colors and the off-center comp works very well here. The sharpness and yellow tones of the stamens really draw my eye to the center of the flower. Jules did a good job of covering the rest of my thoughts so I won't repeat. A couple minor tweaks should take this one over the top!
