Very clever capture. I think you could have benefitted from an even tighter crop and still show the humor. A little more sharpening would help as well. -T

this is a great shot, kind of wish it was dead symmetrical though...

Comment by BigSmiles:
I really like this concept. I would have cropped in a bit tighter though. The focus isn't right.. it's soft throughout

Lovely colours, good use of focus control, though I'd have liked to have seen the whole stamen (? - the white / yellow bit) in crisp focus and the rest of the flower as is. The soft light works well but perhaps some more back light through the flower would have made this even better ?

Seems to have a lot of potential as a portrait orientation too - as there seems to be more interesting details out of the top of the shot than is on the sides. (9) revised 10

After reading the title, I think I'm going to have nightmares about this! It's a great flower macro.

Comment by magnus:
Gorgeous! But I would have been sorely tempted to force the upper right petal more to the right to complete the symmetry.

I tried taking this same shot...I like your softness and color in the purple. I think I would have prefered a little better focus in the very center.

This is a unique perspective on a flower shot. Good DOF and focus. 9 -danny
