love the tone - wish you could have spot edited the damage up the left column. The rear column seems blocked somehow - would have liked to see this slightly round to the left to break the three columns up- the two triangles at the top don't quite seem to be balanced with the other shapes and lines in the composition

Greetings from the Critique Club :)

Hi Mag...

This was one of my favorite shots of the challenge :) The lighting, as in all your work, is excellent and the composition is very strong as well. The subtle highlights on the leaves create some very nice eye candy for the viewer.

There are only two possible issues that I can comment on with this photo and one of them may not be fixable... First, there appears to be some dust specs on the leaves of the flower. I'm not sure what that really is and if it's 'fixable' or not, but they seem to draw a little unnecessary attention. The second issue is the exposure on the bulb of the flower. I'm sure this was incredibly difficult to work with because white attracts light :) The exposure is a tad hot. I don't have much experience with flower/studio setups yet, but I have witnessed it before. What I have seen is a lot of white cards reflecting the light to the flower rather than letting the flower receive direct light. I'm gonna try some shots like this late in the year after I grow my own callas :)

Keep up the great work :)

thank you for your comments .. someone said if you find a beautiful subject 95% of your work has already been done. i think that applies in this case. the flower basically shot itself :P)..

surprisingly this was a really simple pic to take. in fact im finding the more simple i get the better the results are. too bad that doesn't work at my job :P . . .
