Critique: underexposed, not quite enough of the subject in focus (not enough depth of focus). Some petals are sharp while other are not.
Praise: Great tonality here and lots to keep my eyes looking through the image. Overall this is a good entry.
This is a bit too dark........Your lens and focus is just amazing...I only wish it was a bit lighter. Good work .....the best I've seen so far. A true MACRO!!!!! Congrats.
Wonderful focus and nice tones. I'm partial to b/w flower shots that bring out the beauty of the form of the flower, rather than focus on the flower's color, as so many do. The softness is gorgeous. I prefer for the tones in b/w shots to run from true black to true white, but somehow the muted grays work really well with this. 9
