Simplicity

-

Hello Melissa. Nicely lit, and you have kept it simple as the title implies. This is often the best approach to achieving good results. As you have. I would have liked to see a little bit more space around the flower to give it a little breathing space. Placing your subject right in the middle create a static image. Experiment by moving it a little from the centre it will create a more dynamic image. Cheers.

Thanks Roy. I'll have to try that.

Lovely shot! Actually I dissagree with Roy, this is a single subject filling the frame, so no point for rule of thirds. An even tighter framing could be tried, but this is only my opinion. Nevertheless a very good picture with good light, texture and tonalities. 6/6

Excellent b&w shot, Melissa. Nice composition with very good light and balance. Lovely flower. Best regards!

Thank you both Dimitris and David. Your comments are much appreciated!

This indeed is a very beautiful capture. Luv the B/W.

Thank you so much Julius!
