You did quite a few things really well in this shot. I like the color and exposure. Looks like a tough lighting situation that you handled well. The dof is nice and helps focus attention on the flower. The flower is almost too centered for my taste. I'd rather have it higher or lower - probably lower since most of the interest is in the upper half of the frame.
The color is nice and the backlit petals really stand out. Maybe almost too well. It's a nice shot, and I think the score is about right. It doesn't really portray weather as well as some other photos, and might have done better in the flora challenge. |

| I really liked this image and it seems way underrated. That's probably because some voters didn't feel it met the challenge closely enough. However, looking at it you're pretty aware of the intensity of the sun :) |

| The blue background looks like it started to pixelate for some reason, and I'm guessing its oversaturated. The blossom is nice but a little too shadowed. It could've been cropped a little tighter to give it a little more size. |

| That's a pretty doggone interesting picture. I love taking pictures of flowers but, honestly, to see pictures of flowers gets a bit old and cliche-ish when one see dozens and dozens of pictures of "pretty" flowers. This is not a cliché, however. There's such a lovely juxtaposition between the white flower and the darkish silhouette of the branch and the buds. The light flower is very interesting: just a little bit of detail to make it interesting; otherwise pretty simplefied. Also like the shadow of the branch on the white flower. That other, blurred, branch in the background is a total dog though. Mars an otherwise great picture as it clutters a strong and sharp image. Let me give you a hint: when i plan to take pictures of flowers or leaves, I always carry with me a very small and very sharp herb clipper ($7) so that i can interfere with nature as that suits me :) I don't do that though in private gardens :) 8 Journey |

| I like how you capture weather: a sunny day, through the lens of the flower petals. |
