Very light and almost whimsical. Delightful shades of pink. Composition is very good. Some would say that the dof needed to allow for more to be in focus but for this pic, I like it like it is. Background adequate and lighting god. Enough detail and texture to make it interesting and real.

Like the angle of the subject flower, which gives us full view of the petal lines, shading and stamens..if that's what they are.
I Like the different angles of the other flowers that reach further into the frame, offering a nice balance and good composition.
The foreground flower stands out for its clear focus, and against the backround soft focus of the other flowers.
I'm glad you didn't create a solid backround, completely blurring. It's nice to see a little definition of the other flowers.
nice lines.
The colors are pretty..pinks and yellow with contrasting greens.
well done.

They are indeed pretty flowers. Both a lovely shape and lovely colors. I like that you included buds and some faded ones in the background. This gives the viewer a good idea about how this plant look like.

Your focus is pin sharp showing great details both in the petals and the middle of the flower. Also the exposure is spot on. I really like the color scheme. It is so lovely with all the different shades of greens and pinks.

I also think the placement of the sharp flower within the frame works well. This is really a well taken flower shot and your image is nicely balanced and with very good DOFF.

I love the sharpness of the flower in the foreground with the others softening but still clear against the blurred background.
Very rich colors and very appealing in their gentle grace.

Comments: Great picture of the little flowers. My first impression is that you would have been better off allowing a deeper DOF. I suspect that your f-stop was from 4.0 - 5.6. It probably should have been from 11 - 16 which would have allowed the other two flowers that look out of focus to be in focus. I am disappointed that you did not provide camera information and camera settings. I could have made suggestions on what was used instead of guessing what was use. Thanks for sharing.

They are sure very nice color and I like the way you have the one as you POV. Some of the buds may be a little distracting, but it still is a great photo.

Such a pretty image Sarah - these look like little wildflowers that grow here in the hedgerows. Lovely use of dof and selective focus - a great shot!

    Thank you so much, Chrissie, for your great review! These have been a sweet touch to my little garden around my patio. Hope all is well!

    Hi Sarah
    I've been really poorly all night so been taking it easy. Just a sickness bug - hope it's just a 24 hour thing. How was your daughter's birthday?

reply by the artist on 06-Jul-2012
    My daughter and I went to lunch and then did a few errands together. It was sooooo hot! We had a really nice time. She is alot of fun! Sorry you are feeling poorly. Hopefully it will leave as quickly as it came! Get well!

reply by chrissie. on 06-Jul-2012
    Ah, thanks Sarah! So glad you had a good day with your daughter.
