I was born in Zimbabwe on 03/06/88. My family, consisting of parents, older brother and sister, migrated to South Africa when I was six months old. We moved back to Zimbabwe six years later, to help my grandparents on their farm - a career change for my father.
After a measly eighteen months we upped sticks and went farming on our own. This led us to Kwekwe, in the heart of Zimbabwe, to farm tobacco! Borrowdale farm which is part of the "Midlands Black Rhino Conservancy" is where we settled . This was the most incredible experience, living with such an abundance of wild life ........... of which we became a part of during the school holidays! Due to the "land redistribution policy" we had no option but to move on.
10th November, 2001 saw us arrive in New Zealand with our former lives packed into a suitcase each, ready to start our new lives. Our first three years were spent on the South Island and I nearly froze!!!!!!! A great employment opportunity for my father had us move up to the North Island. I now live on a farm just outside Matamata aka "Hobbiton" (defrosting).
Yep that should sum it up ha!

The flower focus vieuw is fantastics the background and stem of the flower can be better in my idea I think you play with it in Photoshop? LOL
Lashia
Great colour, the border makes the flower look very white :-)

I see only positive characteristics in this image, perfect, with gently diagonal lines!

I like this shot. Simple beautifull. From a dark background just pops out, saying..." here I am adore me ". Very delicate " Mother's day " card.

Oh Kai, this shot is so wonderful that the only thing missing is the ability to capture its scent. The stem and leaf fading into the darkness behind that wonderful white clarity is just so pretty. I really enjoyed this pic and feel you need some BIG HUGS my friend to settle you back to a normal R'osity insanity instead of the frustrated crazyness this poor little petal has put you through. So...um........er....
~~[HUG, HUG, HUG, HUG, HUG, HUG]~~[blush]~~~~~See ya! JennyZacko

No, it's not missing anything. The "simplicity" and DOF make this a truly lovely sot.

I have to agree with the others.....it's a wonderfully simple and beautiful shot! There's nothing to be unsure of on this. The dark background is perfect to bring out the colors. And the clarity is great, too! Looks like a poster to me! Lovely shot! :)

Maybe you feel something is missing because it isn't taking up the entire frame. But that's whats so beautiful about this ... it gives it such a fresh, clean, delicate look ... you did just perfect. I love it. Totally.

Stunning shot - gives you two POV's and your compo is perfect - another light source would've been great go during a sunny day and use a reflector and diffuser...
