very abstract presentation. Like the diagonal bands of colours going from light to dark across the shot.

Interesting shapes in the light and dark colours allow you to use your imagination to see what you will. Very selective DOF achieves effective focal point to draw the eye into the shot and then follow up into the darkness and around, circling back to the beginning again.

Nice detail in this one. I like the perspective you have used and the view of the buds and the open flowers.

This is gorgeous! The only improvement I might suggest would be to tone down the clouds at the horizon on the lower left. If you use a raster layer in overlay mode with a 50% grey fill and then use a black brush at about 25% opacity to paint on that layer, you can spot edit the brightest parts and add just a little more detail in to those areas of the clouds.

Day 10 - The calm before the storm

Nice orange flowers. They are a little lost within the scenery. I would suggest a closer crop to remove some of the foreground greenery and most of the sky. If you like the backgorund to include the sky and buildings, you might consider adding in a gradient fill layer to add a bit of colour to the sky and sort of blur the buildings a bit.

Nice detail on flower and stamen. It does have a soft look to it. I think it would also do well with a little more luminousity to showcase the veins in the petals.

Pinks and greens are very delicate and restful to view. The one wing of the flutterby that buttered fly is a little over bright. :)

Awesome capture! I love the colours and detail of the flowers. The background with the leaves, wall and shadows set off the blooms perfectly. Great job!

You make it sound so easy! Great angles for lighting emphasizing texture and shadows. Nicely seen and captured.
