Thank you for all your kind and constructive comments, I was shooting under extreme conditions,windy and cold, and shooting in natural lighting,late afternon sun that was going away much to quick.
Beautiful picture. Great composition, good execution. I know why you cropped it off to the side, for the shadow, but did you try a centered shot with another name. That's my only a suggestion. I still like it. PTL Like it heck, I love it. 10
Choice of colour - classic yellow&blue contrast is very good....... and is strongly implemented. I appreciate your thoughtful and effective lighting, using both shadow and transparency - which enhances dimension and creates that wonderful amorphic bluemoon shape ! Also, I would have considered cropping tighter on the right side - down the middle of your cut mum - showing only half the bloom. undieyatch
I love the colors. Good exposure and composition. I like the texture of the flower against the smoothness and rounded lines of the glass. Lighting on the flower seems a tad harsh - maybe it could have been diffused some? Good off-center placement. 8 ~indigo997
Simply beautiful. The contrast between the yellow and the blue is very pleasing, and I love how you cropped it so that you can see the entire shadow as well! Well lit, and a beautiful subject. I don't know if there is anything that I would change about this. I give this a very deserved 10! Nice job and good luck!
