HI Janine!

Great shot - but then again I would like it, they are amongst my favourite flowers...



Like I said, I like it, but it doesn't take my breath away like some of your other work. Two things I can think of (bearing in mind that it's all subjective):

Firstly the lighting doesn't seem quite right. Not sure I can put my finger on it but it's very bright and contrasty in the middle, but a little dark around the outside petals. It looks a little like on camera flash not quite delivering?

Secondly the composition - for me it is just in between two choices - really tight and detailed or a little further out and capturing the whole flower. I guess my mind sees it like the flower equivalent of cutting a human model off at the knees.

This may all sound a little harsh and for many others I would just say 'great shot' - but you have so much history of doing better.

Happy hunting!

Frank.

Great title, terrific picture. These rocks don't seem so dumb as you were able to capture their good side.

Beautiful monochrome, although I would have loved some vignetting on the left
