An altogether lovely shot, with nice composition and beautiful lighting. I would love to be able to see just the hint of the stem to anchor the flower a little more. A good combination of shapes, forms and textures.

[Critique Club]

I was given this from the critique club queue, but I had already commented. So instead of additional comments, I thought I'd take this opportunity to try and illustrate my point below. In addition, I waited long enough that it got put back in the queue, so you will get another critique club review from someone else.

Here's my attempt at softening the lighting on the skin. I did this in a manner such that you could have done this legally with Gaussian blur and fading, as long as your software supports that without using layers. But I actually had to do it manually, and illegally, using layers since I have PSe rather than PS. But it still illustrates what I thought would improve the pic!



Also, outside of a challenge, you could do one additional adjustment. If you did the softening with layers, or used a mask, you could apply it to the face but not the eyes.

Regards--Neil

I wish this were'nt as grainy, but I do like the overall composition. Your hues of blues on grey really are striking.
