Hi Anne;
Congrats to this image: it has a great play of color, shapes and lines. I do like the composition very much, especially the window frame in the background and that it is titled relative to the lines coming from the branch.
Maybe just cropped a little different on the left side though.
Regarding the noise issue I have send you a PM,
Not sure why you have a rod going straight through the middle of this picture, but I find it very distracting. Also, would have liked a bit more light to hit the top of the bloom, which I find a little dark.
Bright and colorful, very sharp. Critiques: May be over-sharpened. Overall the shot is a bit to centered, background is distracting (could background have been composed out of the shot?).
Beautiful color, and an amazing shot. I don't care for the very "centeredness" of the subject, and find the many "elements" in the shot to be distracting.
Nice, but the leaves are showing a little bit of a visonary anomaly. Meaning, it doesn't quite let my eyes work right. It makes me work too much to view it.
I like the big x pattern that this makes, but this really isn't close enough or detailed enough to be very interesting. I'd recommend that you try to get closer, get sharper, and maybe try more unique angles or setups.
