Louis,

Yes I like this version better. Again great image. (7) Have a great day!

Paulo,

I don't like the top of head chopped. It seems a bit dark overall. The highlights are nice.  Her eyes need a little pop. Have a great day.

Paulo,

I agree with everything Dan said. I also think the softening effect on such a young subject might be overkill. Have a great day!

Jeff,

Thank you for the kind words. Have a great day.

Maurizio,

Wayne,

Thank you for kind words. Sorry for slow response. Have a great day.

Radu,

Thank you for the kind words. I use a 105mm macro on a cropped body. The shadow would be hard for me as I know nothing about Photoshop. I use Lightroom.  Sorry for the slow response. Have a great day!

Maurizio,

Sorry for slow response. Thank you for the kind words. Have a great day.

Charles,

Stunning detail. Very well done.

Charles,

The colors are very nice. Is the petal (?) facing viewer a little over exposed compared to the rest of flower? I have never seen a lotus flower in real life so it might perfect. Either way very nice image. Have a great day.

Charles,

Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate it. Have a great day.

Charles,

Yes the shadow does distract a bit, However, I posted for the detail in body and eyes. Thank you for the critique. Have a great day.

Nice image with good details. I like the post processing as well. Have a great day.

Greg,

Thank you for your critique. I try to format my images to standard print sizes. This is formatted for a 8 x10 print. To keep aspect ratio I would be crowding the wings a bit if I cropped bottom. All sides would come in. I thought the butterfly shadow added to the image as well. Have a great day.

Please tell me what you think. I welcome all comments. Please view

large. Thank you

Alf,

Thank you for the critique. I appreciate your kind words and will try your suggestion. However, How you see it is how it was. There is big bush to left that had multiple pods of flowers on it. Thanks again for your time and critique. Have a great day.

Timo,

Thank you! Have a great day.

Jim,
