My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
I can see it smile and what a beautiful colour this flower is and stunning markings too.Great looking photo with beautiful detail,light and close up my friend.
And the quality of lighting is an added visual bonus.
Caveats?
If I may be bold..
Looks like a compositional challenge of sorts.
And I bring this element up as I am a lil' undecided on the 'fix'.. with respect to the left-hand side central ('brighter') portion of the flower that merges/touches the outside frame.
I.e. ... change in camera position/shift, crop.. erhm ... not sure, as I was not there and am unaware of the rest of the setting.
Perhaps.. a vignette?
To take it down some?
Still, and with that said.. very nice and well done on the technical considerations.
And..
But of course, thank you for sharing this one with us. :o)
This Image GRABBED my EYE. That's Why I Stopped By.
Thanks For Sharing ! Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience
Some people have Gurus, I have my camera. Through the cam lenses I have learnt to deeply perceive life, not only to see, but to look at all expressions of nature, becoming able to read the poetry of the flowers, receiving the embrace of the trees and flying above the clouds without wings! - Susie Sun
