This is a really nicely done photo... the only thing that I would have changed was to be either a little closer or a little farther away. Because as it is you're getting most of the flower so you want more, but if you were trying to focus in on the *tries to remember his science* ummm... pollen things in the middle you shouldn't have had so much other parts in the picture....
Well, I was away all last week, and just sorta looked for *something* I could try to sneak in before the deadline. I took this today, and was just happy that it was pretty evenly focused.
I agree with miss_marmaduke...the colouration of this flower - and photograph as one - is awesome, I love the oranges of the petals, it really makes the flower stand out amongst the green :)
Great job...
Just a suggestion... =)
