Beautiful colors, but it seems that the rose and the lily are competing for the attention since they both take up that same amount of space in the frame, might have been nice if both were in focus.

Strange Christmas gift. Do you know who gave it?

The focus on this picture could be better, it feels a bit soft which makes it hard to tell what it is. I think it would have scored higher if it weren't for that.

Nice lines and colors in this shot. The detail and focus on this macro are nice. The one thing that really detracts here is the frame. The overwhelming size of it really 'crowds' the subject.

I hate criticizing anyones work and admire anyone who just loves to be behind the lens and shoots away at almost any subject, but since you have posted this to be rated, I'd like to explain why I feel it is not a great shot. First, your subject (cala, I assume from title) is not really recognizable. It is cropped off at top and bottom, and very blurry. Second, the bright spot at top left corner is distracting, as is the dark form on bottom right. The category is "backlighting" but in this case the actual light source is overpowering. Try to get a better focus on the subject, and often it helps to put the subject off center, instead of dead center. Please keep shooting and posting...Best regards

Despite the color and glow of this picture, I find it hard to pick out a central object - the cala is not in focus, and the backlighiting is so extreem you've lost a lot of detail. The rose is not in focus either. You've pushed the yellow so far you've gotten some odd artifacts in the center of the cala.
