I look at this and think there is a crap load I still need to learn about portraiture. I wish you entered more often.

Superb job on the image and ribbon. Tenth ribbon in a row and fourth blue. An impressive streak.

I think you should video record your shoots so we could really get a "behind the scenes look". Thanks for the descriptions.

What's gone wrong, Teddy?

An excellent blend of weird and creepy.

I gave it a five. I admire much of your work, but this just didn't do much for me. I am not good at flower macros, so there are probably better folks to explain what might be missing from this image. The center of the flower and the petals around the edges are in focus, and things between are soft. I think my eyes bounce between these areas and struggle to find what I should be focused on. Perhaps it would be better have the eye drawn to a single area in focus. I agree with Jon that the vibrant yellow areas may not have helped with a darker theme like Death.
