A very straightforward, head-on macro shot of a blossom (or, in this case, a cluster of buds). There's nothing that particularly excites me about it, but it's executed in a very technically-proficient way, so I have to give props for that. :-> Would make a good mousepad or coaster, I think. Nice tight focus, even down to defining those white granules, but there's no one thing really to look at. If one of the pinkish buds were open, the single flower might well have given it the 'pop' it needs.
great, great, great. Very well done. I love the smooth, blurred out background. the main subject really jumps out. Love the colors. Good luck.. Jacko. 10
Wow! What a striking image - the composition is great - not just your own but the spacing of the buds that happen to have burst open to orange. Your viewpoint is well chosen.
Changes in colour in out of focus backgrounds don't always bother me but the white area at the lower left does. The background also seems rather grainy - perhaps the whole image is but this is less easily noticable in the central area.
Nice sharp macro and well exposed. I think for impact though the image should be cropped more on the left and on the bottom. It's too central IMO. You might even try isolating one of the orange areas, for example the one on the bottom.
