Shootingstar

Hi Nabil! Beautiful image,like a painting... love the suffused background.

 

Thanks a lot for your detailed comment and for calling my style that way:-).Anna

Very nice !

Tremendous colours i like the water droplets which give a freshness to the foliage and the pastel background nice open aperture..

The lovely subtle colours were what first caught my eye here. Very nice.

Soft, subtle and very beautiful, well done.

OH...this is too beautiful.

Beautiful composition!!!

Please advise to improve ...

Beautiful

Very nice delicate image.

very nice shot...good.

Beautiful!

nice shot!!!!!

Good fotograph and original framing. You might want to try to bring out the reds in the flower a bit, to catch viewer's eye.

Magical Lighting...So Rich in Color...Just Perfect

Very beautiful and good lighting.

Wonderful.

Beautifull picture. Love everything about it. But must agree with Dmitry. I would put a little spot light on a red flower to bring attention to it. Green leaves are brighter and bigger so they are catching attention. I think red flower should...

Fairly flat lighting and colors. I like the composition, and the shallow DOF, but this needs better light and more contrast to be truly effective.

Hi Nabil:

 

I understand Scott's point, but I also think the soft lighting is effective here. Interestingly, the green leaves dominate visually and the eye is only gradually drawn to the Shootingstar (I assume that's the name of the flower). But this redolent visual progression seems to match the mood perfectly. My only quibble is the light green outline around the green leaves and a slight red halo around the shooting star. These are probaby the result of feathering the selection of the leaves when you blurred the background. But on second thought, if someone isn't looking for PS clues, these actually add to the softfocus/softlight mood of the image! How's that for equivocal?

I love the photo, but the title may be misleading if it refers to the type of flower. This flower is a columbine (Aquilegia) rather than a shootingstar (i.e. Dodecatheon).

Thank you all for your comments. They were really helpful. Thank you Don for correcting my mistake. Anna, your comment was of great significance to me. Jim, you're smart and have hawk-eyes.

love the water!

I do like the colors and composition. The sharpness could be improved just a bit to give this a 7 or two. Still very nice!

Beautiful Image. Love the simplicity.
