That's pretty naughty ... I'm looking at this at work y'know! :] ... oops, did I say that? Anyway, great subject and beautiful photograph. I'm gonna guess this strikes the 'fancee' of the dpc crowd.

Amazing flower, great detail and colours. to me there is a slightly distracting 'mark' on the petal/base of the 'red hot poker'. 8

Love this effectâ€Â¦and you did it well. I really like the overall blueâ€Â¦to get very “critical” I think the blacks are a bit too blackâ€Â¦you lose some of the appealâ€Â¦just becomes a black shape instead of interesting texturesâ€Â¦now in your defense it might have been impossible to get the rocks properly lit due to it being very dark and if you let shutter open more to let more light in the highlights would have been blown which would have been a bigger eye sore. So “if” it was possible to get the texture back without ruining the rest of the shot I think that would have made it a bit better. Overall I think you did a fantastic jobâ€Â¦great work.

Good placement in the frame. Glare on flower is a bit distracting. Would like to see more DOF too. The centre part is tack sharp and has great detail.
