Excellent - the light is presumably processing work? Love the anti-rules cropping, the balance, the loom of the tree.

This is a perfect example of when to center your subject.
The tree not only simplifies the flower, but adds both texture and motion to the composition. The corners of the image frame the subject nicely and add to the overall balance of the composition.
I'm curious to know if the image was burned/dodged...
An old subject made new again! Good job.

Very interesting composition choice to center everything, which givest this flower and tree supreme importance. I like how you've used light (or burning). Nice work. It works for me! 9

beautiful. I would have cropped lower to get rid of the sky alltogether.

Good looking! A single flower... fraile and fresh against the old texture of the bark. The fact the is centered doesn't botther me but increase the effect. In my opinion it would have been excellent too if you caught only the bark as a background. Just a thought. I like it anyway the way it is. 10

I like how the daffodil pops out of the image with the light highlighting the flower and the background not being completely black. The toning and texture of the tree is great too. I like this!
