First Close up...

Sligtly off centre I know, but do you think I should have left out

the other portions of flowers?

Thanks

Looks nice, but I find the other flowers distracting. Black construction paper can be handy in blocking out the other flowers or choosing a different perspective. Just a question, but did you have to compensate for using extension tubes? Anyway, rad stuff!

Apparantly you are supposed to under expose by x stops depending on which ones you use. (they come in a set of three - 12mm, 20mm & 30mm) If memory serves me correct it's 2 stops for all three.

There is nothing wrong with having other flowers in the image, but in this case there is a large emptiness in one corner only, and it looks unbalanced. This could have been shot as a vertical, probably. Nice exposure overall.
