Oh, sweeter... :-)) The photograph is soooooooooo wonderful, no question!! I love the lighting and the contrasts... perfect balance in here!! :-)) Excellent work... I love this so much!! uda dzk dvmjsuads Bu one point I have... not sure about the background in the mid of the framework - its the negative of the plant youve said. Thats okay, but I would have positioned it in another way, perhaps smaller in the right bottom corner e.g. Against what the pistil fits perfect in this position.. The way it seems to come out from the pic is excellent chosen here!!! I love this!! uda maaa fiue :-))) hugesthugs

I really like the "quite un-experimental" frame!! As for the shot itself, the compo is great and the subject is beautiful but those burnt out highlights ruins it for me!

when i look at this, i think of winter. i like this; however, the lost detail in the flower petals could maybe be improved. perhaps some curves adjustments would have helped here? it might bring in some more of the detail of the petals. the negative image of the flower in the background is most creative and i really like the pistil. the rest of the negative image part seems to not have much detail to...at least for me anyway. i think it would have more impact if just that part were there and the rest erased out. but that's just a personal thing.

The b/w gives the flower a sense of purity(all white). great presentation.
