This was taken at the Buffalo Botanical Gardens on a lazy Saturday afternoon. This is a new area of photography for Louisa and me, so comments and suggestions are definitely appriciated.

Very pretty! I love the water drops on the flower. I like the brightness of the flower contrasted with the dark cool leaves. The only thing that I could possibly bad about this is the flower is not all perfectly in focus. But that's really really nitty gritty. =) Perhaps increasing the depth of focus would help the front of the flower and the stamen--or whatever it's called--come into focus?? But other than that....wonderful job and thanks so much for sharing, she's gorgeous.

Start a trend! Instead of saying "Thanks for commenting" on someone's personal page...say thanks by commenting on an image!

Amazing capture. Your focus on the petals is crystal clear, and the flower is so unique... My hat goes off to you.

It's a beautifull flower and good composition.
If you want improve a photograph like this by giving us the impression and feeling that we actually reach out and touch that flower you need to do something difficult: make the whole flower razorsharp while keepingthe background blurred.
That means that you should increase the diaphragma number (small opening) and increase the exposure time. So it would involve a tripod or something to lend you a very steady hand.
Good luck!

If you can't find the words, you may as well shoot it...
