I dont often take many flower based shots but I thought this one turned out OK, obviously I was mistaken so any useful pointers as to what I should be looking for when composing a flower close up would be greatly appreciated.

cheers - Phil

I would zoom in a little closer or have more blur on the background but otherwise nice clear and sharp

Hi Phil, for me there is not one thing that grabs my eye...there are many things so I find it a little hard to stop wandering around the image. Definitely a tighter crop would bring more attention to the flower in the middle. If the flowers that are in focus were closer to each other that would help the composition. I have a hard time with these shots...flowers never seem to be in the right position, I suppose that is why we are drawn to bouquets of them;-)

Hi Phil...first, the image has great quality and color and clarity. I agree there is not a focus point. The left side of the image just sort of looks like you 'missed' as in bad composition. I would go for just one of those flowers as delicate as they are. I really don't shoot bouquets of flowers :) because I cannot find a focal point myself!
I find myself wanting to be able to see the detail better ( as in closer to my eyes) on the flower closest to the right edge of your image. Hope this helps you. I love flower captures :~)
