I recommend you correct those should you chose to make a print. Great picture that should place very high.

Great lighting and DOF Love the way some of the petals fade into the dark background. Well done.

mapplethorpe. First thing that popped into my head. The lighting on this is excellent. Makes the flower sensual. Has a lot of movement. I can see the petals unfurling while I comment. I take a lot of flower shots 'cause there easy, convenient, and don't argue. :) This one is one I would love to call my own. Excellent work. 10

almost perfect example of low key photography, just that something below rightmost petal is distracting - 8
Post actions
Very nice photo. I like it. I gave it an 8

Crisp edges and great DOF. I wonder if it was possible to have the base of the blossom in one third and the nobby thing in the other third. Having more dark space in the upper right might give it a more reaching effect. Excellent job. good luck

I love the lighting in this and the positioning of the flower, it seems to be reaching for the light.
