I really surprised to read that this is your debut floral shot, Paul. The composition and post-processing look very expert to me. Excellent work.

Very nice. I like the background too. A little foofiness never hurt anyone, unless you are in a biker gang. LOL.

every day is a gift......that's why it's called the present!!
A beautiful looking bloom very nicely captured. I like the softness in the colours and focus.

It happens to all of us Paul. We have to get in touch with our Foofy side. Wonderful colors.

Comment unto one another as you would have them comment unto you. If you like comments, you need to comment some yourself.
There's a lot to like in this image Paul. The color looks a little too blue all around to me and a bit too saturated. I love the composition, how the leaves and flower frame the empty view beyond. As a rule when we frame a distant view, the scene beyond is sharp and intersting. In this case, you've captured just the opposite, giving it a surreal effect which I like very much. I like that you've kept the flower to the left of the frame for added interest. At first I didn't like the overall softness of it but the more I study it, the more I like it. It's a tough call because when we have a shallow dof that draws the eye to the subject like this, we want the flower tack sharp. anne =D

Critiquing art of any kind is utterly subjective. When I vote on your images, I look at several things. First, my initial gut reaction. Then, is it straight (if it should be); is the color correct or if intentionally saturated or desaturated, was it done properly and does it enhance the image; composition - if you intended a bulls-eye, unless it's an outstanding image that is really served by centering the subject, it'll get dinged; is the horizon dead center - again, unless there's an obvious reason that makes it a better photo, no points; is the subject interesting and uncluttered; is the image sharp; is the depth of field right for this composition, is there a catchlight in the creature's eye; would I hang this on my wall; is it an image I'd be proud to display; is it artistic or just a snapshot; does it move me; is there a message conveyed; is it documentary in nature and if so, does it tell the story in such a way it makes me want more. When I critique a photo in your gallery, I'm only suggesting what my subjective nature prefers. No need to defend your position if you like your image the way it is. If you give me constructive criticism on my pieces, I guarantee you I will take them to heart. I love to improve! Bring it on Caedians! Love, anne =D
Paul, I am pleasantly surprised by your first flower post :) Much like Anne, I too am enjoying the dreamy and surreal appearance, as a result of your post processing technique. I also like the natural framing and position of the rose. For some reason I'd kinda like to see more of the background, i.e. an extension of the right side. A beautiful capture, and I look forward to seeing more foofies from you! :)

Oh what a beauty! Flowers and beauty are synonymous. Great capture, a bit dreamy though.
