I wonder how many people will realize this is a reflection. I only realized after trying to figure out what the bright white bit was in the lower left corner.

This photo is almost a nightmare to me actually. I worked for a company that made RAM wafers that look much like what you're holding. The bunny suits, oh god, the suits... Man, I hated that place!

Fab-u-loso! Such elegant softness. I like that you kept the stem in the frame rather than hiding it behind a petal.

This is the most violent looking aloe I've ever seen!

My first thought was "wedding." I'm curious what the purple dot is, though.

More light!

With shots like this I tend to use a vertical composition to include more of the stem. To me it's like that rule joint rule in human portraits. When you include the bud but cut the stem, it's like cutting the flower at the joint. It just feels more natural to me. That doesn't mean I'm right though!

I like your composition and the bokeh is nice.

It would be nice to see all 3 of these flowers in focus. You don't list your aperture, but I'd have to guess it was very shallow. Small flowers outside are always so hard to photograph, because even the gentlest breeze will blow your subject out of your set DOF.

This is the same flower. Not quite open.
