Such a humble request (title), I cannot help but accept the invitation, and I think the image does it justice.
While some may object to the bud being crisper than the blossom or its right-of-center inclination, I am more given to the charm and natural elegance of this capture than to consider corrections. ;-)
The light and tones are wonderful here. Very painterly. The composition works, but I find the greenery on the far left somewhat distracting and not as lush as the center stem and flower. That plus the right lean of the flower, and I would have been tempted to crop and put the flower in the left third. Overall, very nice.
there is lot of dead space of to the left I would have cropped out like and inch or two over so you can still see the main stem in my opingion would be much greater a composition.
Wonderful composition, beautiful simple colours here. :-) Although I would like to see the rest of the flower on the left, I love this shot a much! :-)
nice lighting and subject. i would recomend posing/triming the green parts that cut through the flower in lower right and upper left to make the flower stand out better on the black. 8
Now, this is perfect - I like and understand the biblical reference! Makes me want to say "why didn't I think of that!" The only change I might have made would be to crop it so that the bud on the left is either completely excluded or included in the shot - but that's just me - I tend to like things very tidy, LOL.
