Smaller crop

NEVER OFFENDED BY CRITIQUES. REALLY WANT YOUR IDEAS FOR WAYS TO

IMPROVE. THANKS FOR TAKING TIME TO VIEW THIS EFFORT. HAPPY SHOOTING,

DAVE

beautiful shot

Dave, this is really gorgeous! I like your composition and dramatic lighting! Nice work! Doug

Thanks a lot. Coming from the two of you means a lot as your work shows me things to learn. I think I was able to apply a little of I learned from your examples. Many thanks for sharing and for taking the time to make a comment.

 

I am always open for suggestions on how to make a shot better - never offended. So please if you see something, know I would greatly appreciate your thoughts. I am here to improve in any way I can.

 

Happy shooting, Dave

It's funny, Dave...this was the one I was comparing it to...I hadn't seen your earlier version with the negative space out beyond the limb. This one is nice, but I definitely prefer the crop I originally commented on. I really like the length on it.

so happy and fun! very nice idea!

Hi Dave,

Lovely shot...so crisp it feels like you can reach out and touch them.. The brilliant red against the black backdrop makes the shot even more stunning. Happy shooting, regards, janen

A fine shot of these delicate little beauties, Dave. The black backdrop is perfect to show off their colour and shape. My compliments and regards, Chris

This is a very good image with a background that allows the beauty of the petals to connect 'heart to heart'.  thank you for rating one of my images recently.  (6)

LOVE THIS. I don't get tired of seeing the dramatic backgrounds. Great.
