Flower

Please comment!

Very contrasty, saturated--well, that's Velvia for you. The light is quite harsh; most photographers prefer to shoot flowers in more diffuse light. What are you trying to say? Are you trying to move beyond the flower-calendar stereotype? Most photographers use flower pictures to convey an impression of peace or femininity, a delicate sort of balance. This, on the other hand, is a very masculine photo. I'm honestly not sure what to say about it until I know what you were trying to achieve.
