From Critique Club,
I think this is an excellent juxtaposition of near complementary colors with the contrast in the colors making the picture bright and eye catching. Here the square crop enhances the picture without emphasizing any of the directions which serves the purpose of the picture that is to focus on the radial symmetry of the flower. The little glowing spot at the centre serves as the starting point of interest. Radial symmetry in the centre, petals and also to some extent in the leaves makes the image harmonious.
There are a few details in composition that I would like to point out. Firstly, the centre of attraction is at the dead center. Which when taken together with the radial symmetry may have caused a loss in interest for the viewer, the viewer then appreciates the beauty of the flower and not the way the picture was perceived. As far as I am concerned I would place a center of interest exactly at the center only if the background (if in focus) or other in focus objects has enough asymmetry and substance in it to hold the attention. Secondly the bright spot on the top left corner leads my eyes away from the picture (maybe just mine), imho, it would have been great to have cropped it.
Technical considerations: I believe F 6.3 is a correct decision. It creates interesting layers of continuously blurring textures of the leaves giving the impression of depth and perspective.
All in all I like the way the shot was taken and would experiment with the same from different angles to see if asymmetry in positioning can create a more stunning and original version of the same.

| The light ray in the center catches my eye, draws me in to appreciate the flower - well done! Good choice on the square crop too. |
