nice use of the cracks and lines of the tree for this, giving a burst look. 7

should have angled your light source more to darken back

I love the flower/pod texture, color, and lighting. I would have liked to see that accentuated more. The gradient background is also very nice. It adds a touch of class that may not have been achievable with a solid black.

The composition, however, feels a bit ackward. I understand that you were likely going for a minimalism look, but something just doesn't seem to flow. Maybe if the subject were along the left side of the frame? When I look at the subject I see calm, soothing, and pretty. The composition feels "interupted," because the subject is coming in from the right and almost feels like it's forcing its way into the middle. (I hope that makes sense!)

Overall, great subject. I'd love to see some different angles and tighter crops.
