Good idea pretty well executed. Background feels blindingly bright to me. A bit lower lighting would have given the shadows more play and improved it IMO.

Nicely composed - and I like the "scientific" story. Lighting is great.

:: Hello from the Critique Club ::

This is a lovely image. It has good detail and is well composed. Personally, I have little issue with it.
Flower haters will always ignore it, but those who like the subject matter will enjoy it.

My only points are that:
a) it's a little colourless - which matters only if you want to do well in the challenge (see John Setzler's stunning colour fest on the front page);
b) the centre detail is quite indistinct, and
c) the light is a tad flat inside the flower which reduces textures and definition on the key areas.

Cheers
Jon
