Comment by Patella:
OK -- possibly a monitor problem. This feels a little bit too subdued in terms of its light and dark values -- or perhaps, it's not soft enough. One way or another, for me it lacks a little oomph -- which is a shame because I really like the composition otherwise. I want that flower to pop off the background -- I think it needs to be lighter than it is. If you're worried about it being too bright, you might try a soft focus technique in conjunction with some brighter values. All just my two cents -- take them for what they're worth.

Great colors, good composition, and nice even lighting. This is wonderfully... simplistic. Good luck.

this is a nice macro shot. Is it a real violet? The sparkly things makes me think otherwise

Tennis anyone?

I like the lighting and your idea here. Only thing to add would be to try to straighten the horizon.

Cool composition and coloring - but the overall look and feel is too dark and the detail isn't apparent in the flower.
