Hi,

your comments are truly appreciated!

Thanks

This is a great shot, with great colours. The only thing i don't like is that you have cut off the top of the flower at top left. Why did you not include the whole flower.?

It has nice colors, but I think there could have been a stronger composition. In particular, there is a diagonal line from the cut-off flower on the middle upper left, the big bloom dead center in the middle of the frame, and the bud in the middle bottom right, and then it kind of extends along the shadow of something. But it's not very strong, and the cut-off flower at the end of the line is kind of disconcerting, and then the full bud on the right side disrupts the line. On the upper side of that line is the nice blue sky, but on the bottom is a bunch of stems, partially obscured blooms, and is generally uninteresting.

Good to see you are also experimenting with new angles. Well done. I have some in my folder as well, please have a look. I used flash on one of mine, in my own opinion a bit to harsh, although I like the detail that is then shown. Worth a try on your shot ? With diffuser ?

I like your color saturation it looks almost surreal, I just didn't like the fact that you chopped off that guy's head in the front row!

THanks for all your comments!

I'm still not sure if I dislike the cropping of the front flower. To me it gives the picture an in-the-face feeling. It gives the feeling of being there and it adds depth to the image. That is why I liked the flower cropped. But that is my way of thinking and it is good to know what others have to say to improve in many ways.

 

Thanks again!
