Well that is a very good starter! Clear, sharp with just the right dark colours. I love how the other flower is in focus but the other gets in the blurry out-of-focus area. Great job. You should work more with your camera if you get this good results don't you think :P
I think I would like both flowers more in focus, but it's cool how it looks like the blossoms aren't attached to the stem--sort of floating above the greenery.
Interesting blooms. I too, would prefer to see both blossoms in focus. I do like that they are not the typical flowers you see on this website. Always keep looking for a different way to present a common subject! lauren
