I don't normally ask for additional comments on my images. But this was my first studio setup shot. I was totally pleased with how it placed and my score. I'm just wondering what I can do in the future to improve on this. Any comments/feedback are appreciated.
Before you comment on this though, please make sure you've commented on at least a few images in the current challenges! Thanks guys. :)

Hi Clara,
Probably won't get a whole lot of guys jumping in here,
but I for one have not grown tired of flowers. They are
one of the more beautiful things on this planet to admire.
With that said, and my feminine side coming out
(did I actually say that? - LOL),
this is a very soft and pleasing image.
Something hits me as maybe being too perfect, but
can't quite put my finger on it. maybe too soft?
Maybe needs a bit more contrast to accent the petal textures?

Like maybe a harder light from below? I was using a color correcting 60 watt bulb. Maybe a fdifferent wavelength?

| You did real fine here. there is nothing i can find to improve on it. But since you ask on ways to improve then here it goes: Experiment with different color backgrounds. This is a subject that lends itself to soft pastel variations. What you have here is very nice and above reproach, however, think of the possibilities that lend themselves by changing the overall visual dynamics by a bbackground change. |

Hi Clara,
You have a winner here. The soft pastel color goes well with the dark background. To me, the technical stuff is perfect (exposure, compstions, DoF.) But, since it was a studio setup you could go crazy trying different things: a) Fog drifting through the scene (maybe using some dry ice in water) or some other technique, b) Water drops (caution - this is over done), c) a muli-shaded background instead of solid.
Thanks for sharing - it's a great image.
