Critique Club:

While I find the overall shot nice and the feeling of a snowflake comes across, I think that the uneven lighting and 'shadow' area in the center distract from the overall pleasing mood this image should have. I like your contrast and composition and the greens are nice and subtle. Your sharpening may be just a bit much by looking at the edge of the petals.

Overall nice capture... the bug is a nice touch too :-)

Great to see the bug in this - I like a subtle detail that rewards the second glance. Looks like the focus is good except for one spot near upper left. Nice composition.

Love the colors in this one. Maybe a little better lighting in the center would make this a great picture. (I won't say anything about the bug who keeps drawing my attention to the right if you don't)
