I really liked the softness of the petals, but do you think this is too dark?

No, not too dark. Just fine.
Perfect blossom, beautiful stage of opening, good angle to catch the curves, good lighting, contrasting, non-distracting background, good focus, and very close up. That makes 8 of my personal 9 criteria for the perfect flower picture, the 9th being lots of raindrops, but never mind; this is still WONDERFUL!

Do you mean the whole upload as in too dark? or just the lovely subject? If the answer is yes to the former.."perhaps" is my answer. If the answer is yes to the latter, then my answer is "no". I would like to see it gently placed on a more blurred background, but maybe not necessarily a lighter one, but the lighting on the flowers themselves is soft and dreamy...it might be fun to play around with, but it's still a lovely upload :)PJ

A very lovely upload, Alyssa. Such a pretty, as you say, soft looking flower. Not too dark. I don't hold water droplets to be one of my criteria for judging beautiful flower entries, but some people really go ga-ga over them. They actually spray them from a spray bottle before photographing them. Maybe that is an indicator of life, I'm not sure.

Brilliant image. It's not too dark at all it looks great. Very crisp clear shot as always. What camera do you use?

Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb. - Churchill
Interesting, the flower petals do look quite soft as you say. However, it seems kind of hard to determine what the subject of the photo actually is (at least to me). The DOF suggest that the foreground petals are the point of interest and not the overall flower. While this is not necessarily incorrect (or bad), I think that the image would be better overall if the whole flower (all the petals) were in focus. This could be achieved by setting that nice new camera of yours (congrats again by the way :)) on the aperture priority mode and having a bigger aperture (ie a smaller f-stop number). The slightly smaller f-stop should bring the petals of the flower in the background more into focus (and let a little more light into the lens too).

This is so...elegant. Reminds me of a someone I know...Very beautiful!
