thank you

The golden glow is very attractive. Nice shot. Just a few suggestions: The focussed flower is too low in the frame, and the eye doesn't go there naturally. May be, you would want to crop a bit from the top, or if possible (that is if you have already cropped from down undo it) hold it a bit higher. Secondly, the black border is too thick and unequal on left and right. You could try, I am not sure though, one of the transparent borders that would keep in line with the gold glow. Best regards.

Very nice image. I would agree with the suggestion above to do something with the strong frame. Frankly - the best way to avoid criticques about the frame is simply not to use it. The picture is subtile and attractive in itself. But I do not agree that the flower in focus is composed wrongly. I like pictures with similar composition. It is a matter of personal taste. Best regards

Dorota, yes it is a matter of personal taste, this image and a lot of your work I call from the 'dream world' I love this style of work. When you get it right you sometimes have a sensational result. As to your frames, I personally prefer just the straight image, but probably in a minority there. Anyway nice work, well done! All the best.....roger

Thank you so much for your input. I must say that what is happening to me here (PN) is learning to see that's why I'm ever so grateful for the comments. As for the cropping - I would hate to crop off the top of the shot... It seems that to me the blurred parts of the photos play equal role to the bits in focus and they even take over at times;). I did try keeping more of the lower part though. I like it this way too. Now the 'frame'. I used to try a different sort of borders. This habit of putting a rectangular shot into a nearly square order might be hmm ... too heavy indeed. I'm really glad you mentioned that as well. So thank you again and please look at the other version I'm attaching.
