I really like this - a really interesting view of this flower; I wonder if the contrast or the black point could be pushed a little harder...? I have an Apple and all images look a little lighter than they do on a PC, so it might just be me.

I like how this looks almost transparent - the contrast is just right for this image.

Looks like 3 dragons.

If I'm honest, I don't like this as much as some of your other work - the lighting and very vivid colours are a bit harsh for my taste, but I'm sure you got exactly the look you were after and it is of course masterfully executed.

Wow - is that a really subtle overlay?? What an amazing background effect it produces.

Great work.

Perfect, perfect, perfect!!

I think this would look rather lovely in monochrome too.

You should consider uploading it to 1x.com too - this deserves to be showcased as widely as possible!!

Again, really nice flowers and the lighting is much better. The DOF is a bit too large to truly isolate your subject from the background and a wider aperture would have helped- I see you sot this at f/13; something like f/5.6 would have given you a better result.

Compositionally, I not sure you've cropped it in the right places, clipping the edges of the petals that way but I think your approach to framing the image this way with an extreme portrait crop is definitely the way to go.

Once again your excellent eye has found a really good picture and five more minutes of editing would bring your original alive.

This is a really nice flower but the image is way too flat. I just had a go at messing with it a little and it really rewards a bit of aggressive editing. I'd also clone out the white area top left.

Because of your good eye for a picture, there is bags of potential in this image but at the moment it goes untapped.

Great image, the balance between the foreground and background lighting is bang on.

I'm not a fan of borders, but I like the way this one complements your image.
