Wonderful macro. The blue and pink tones are a great compliment to each other. The luminoscity is lovely and the clarity of the center - spot on. Great DOF and the use of negative space works real well for the rule of thirds!!!

8 - Very nice. Beautiful colors and though normally I personally prefer 'natural environment' flower/plant shots (this looks like studio, but forgive me if I am wrong), the black background is excellent here, especially mixing with the blue, which you have captured well. Criticism; 'if only' those few fore 'anthers' were in focus, would make this much better in my opinion. Perhaps more of the petals bottom right too, like the ones bottom left, but then that may detract from that central focus on the blue 'stigmas'(?). Like the bit of pollen on the petal upper right too. Good 'rule(s)' too.

Pretty scene - such lush green colors. I like the reflection, but I'm surprised it carries into that small area of water.

Love how the halo of the sun come out so well. Certainly not the norm for a perspective shot. Hey, it could have been a nice entry for the rule of thirds too. ;-)

Nice reversal. The softness is interesting.
