Centered. Should be closeup.
Post actions
There doesn't seem to be anything in focus here. *sorry* I like the simple composition... but the image quality is not working for me.

great photo i like the fact that the background is complementary and yet not competing for attention, which is a difficult thing to accomplish
Post actions
Interesting, simple composition. Wish there was a little more detail in the flower though.
Post actions
Nice composition. Tranquil.
Post actions
interesting but a bit noisy.. just five from me ;)
Post actions
colors more vivid, and higher contrast would help :)
Post actions
I think this composition is a little awkward but would pop with a square frame, nice DOF though.
Post actions
unusual perspective for a floral..
Post actions
Nice background, flower is a bit dark and seems out of place a little

not enough detail on the subject for my liking
Post actions
The lake is beautiful and the flower is beautiful. You have two equal strength focus points competing for attention, to the benefit of neither.
Post actions
Nice perspective but the flower just does not look sharp enough to me.
Post actions
Colors and composition are rather bland.
Post actions
I really wish there had been some fill light on the flower, would have loved to have more color/information.
Post actions
interesting flower with a beutiful background
Post actions
try not to center this plant
Post actions
The lake seems to be turning around this wonderful flower.
Post actions
That's an interesting plant. Your photo looks a bit dark and underexposed and the plant is too centered for my tastes.
Post actions
The color on this is wonderful.
Post actions
Great eye! Nice minimal feeling here.
Post actions
I'm not sure the flower adds that much interest to the scene.
Post actions
Very simple and beautiful.
Post actions
really nice focus...recently I took a class and the teacher made a comment about a picture that I did...he said do you know how many photos of flowers I see that are "dead center"...that being said...that is my only critique...otherwise a very pleasing photo
Post actions
Nice, is it Crater lake? Focus on the bud looks soft.
Post actions
Unexpectedly, the centered composition works well here and I really like the DOF you chose.
Post actions
I hope this doesn't go underrated by dpcers. I really like this, it's simple but really draws your attention.

artistic and unique presentation, 6

I like the flower against the smooth water, but am not keen on the central placement. Not enough to keep my attention.
Post actions
Interesting way to frame something!
Post actions
Good idea. OOF on the flower is distracting a bit.
Post actions
interesting composition, but the focus on the flower is too soft of be effective. there is too much empty space around it
Post actions
It was but a splash of color in a sad and grey filled expanse of landscape, and it was the first of its kind here.
Post actions
Nice concept, although I'm not sure if the centered placement of the flower is the best choice.
Post actions
I like how you've isolated the flower with the dof
Post actions
A little drab for me in color but nice subject.
Post actions
overall to dull and dark, DOF is too shallow
Post actions
Nice placement of the subject. Interesting shot.
Post actions
what a gnarly flower. great choice in background, this looks so surreal, like an alien flower next to a lake on neptune or something:)
Post actions
I really like the subtle light and color in this.
Post actions
Nice idea but the flower is too central for my taste and as such looses it's impact
Post actions
This has a certain Zen quality. Peaceful. :~)
Post actions
This somehow grabs my attention, such a commanding subject...lording over the waters below. It throws all "rules" in that water and succeeds in spite of itself. It allows my imagination to roam, stories to form...I won't bore you with them, I just really enjoy this photograph.
Post actions
Can't wait for it to bloom.
Post actions
it would be nice to see with punched up saturation on the colors
Post actions
wow.. nice! I don't usually like centered images but this works!
