Wishing For Summer

critiques welcome

Beautiful shot Joanie....wonderful detail, lighting....beautiful image....and I am partial to flowers..........warm regards, Gail

The composition on this shot is outstanding, with the subject on the right vertical third, but the direct sunlight makes it look rather harsh. This would be a subject better photographed in early morning or late afternoon, or with a translucent panel above it to act as a diffuser, softening the quality of the light. The DoF could be a little less as well, to draw the viewer more to the pestil and stamen, which are the central part of this photo.

Joanie: I love the soft colors and the sharpness of the photo. Well done. After 23 inches of snow yesterday, I also am "Wishing for Summer". Tom
