single photos Flower up-close!

Comments and suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance.

Lovely and soft!

 

Good DOF. I feel there should be more space given to the front flower, and less stalk on the background one. The middle just seems too empty.

Crop the back flower out. I suspect that what you should have done is to change the angle of the shot - move the camera lower so you can get both into the frame without having to move the front flower so low in the frame. It is a coneflower - genus Echinacea - and whoever rated it 2/2 probably has allergies.

Yeah, Mike's right on both accounts.

Biliana, Aaron, and Mike - I appreciate your comments and suggestions.

 

Mike - Correct me if I am wrong but what you are suggesting is along the same lines as Aaron. In other words, if I'd lowered the camera angle I could have given more space to the flower in focus. And the lower angle would also have lessened the 'empty' space between the two while exposing less stalk on the second one.

 

Well, in my opinion, that would have created just another photograph of a flower. Not that I think this is the best shot of a flower; I just think that the frame and the composition makes it kinda unique. What say you? Thanks in advance.

 

Nice picture, good work, congratulations...6/6
