Look but don't touch !! I'll break

Nicely framed, though, I would have liked to have seen the bottom petal of the yellow flower not cut off by the bottom of the image frame. The overall focus is off as well and could be sharper. I like the color of the flowers as well the visual arc formed by the flowers as your eye moves through the image starting at the bottom and ending at the top middle of the frame.

Nice composition and color contrasts. A bit on the underexposed side.

A very attractive choice of flower. The varying degrees of direct lighting and shadow play an interesting contrast, however the light level between the two is a bit too severe. A better choice in treating the background could also improve the image - while an indistinct backdrop makes a photo interesting in this case I don't have a clear idea what the background is (I think it's running water?)

The rocks offer some interesting texture to the photo, but there isn't a clearly defined subject in the image on which to focus the viewers attention. The overall focus could be sharper as well.

Very nice contrasting colors. I like the soft focus on the stem. The actual bloom looks a bit on the noisey side to my eye and the stamin could be just a touch sharper.

An engaging use of shadow. A great job of controlling the amount of noise as well, especially considering the dark environment. The only thing I don't like is how the elbow is clipped on the left hand side - I would rather see the entire arm, with an appropriate amount of empty space between the statue and the left edge of the frame.

Well.. How about my skin?

The subject matter is very engaging. His pose and facial expression are wonderful. I wish the eyes were in sharper focus though, and I'm not a fan of the background in this image - it's distracting and look poorly post processed.

I find the color and lacklustre lighting overwhelms the photograph, as well the focus is a bit scatter shot and not well defined.

I like the choice of subject matter - the different visual textures of the flower are very eye-catching.

A very nice image. The soft focus compliments the subject matter, though I would have liked to have seen the center of the flower a bit sharper.

I like the bokeh in this image. The stamen could use a bit more sharpess.
