Comment from Anne


This is such a unique looking flower. I like the ay you took this so close up. I think it would have been better if you had cropped just a little off of the sides.

Comment from GaliaG


nice angle of shot and good supporting background

I took out 0.5 a star since the center of the flower looks very soft making details to be lost

Comment from outsideMAN


You certainly do have a nice flower here in a good and pleasing composition! The exposure is OK, but I feel that the focus, generally, is not sharp. Possibly some camera shake here? Pity as its a good scene!

Comment from Cephus


Interesting flower. Good soft background but find the composition to be missing something - too much empty space on the bottom and too centered horizontally. As the background contributes little of interest, would be tempted to do a more major crop on this one to just isolate the flower.

The flower exposure appears to be good but the flower is a bit soft.

    Thanks so much for your review, I have recropped as suggested to bring flower more to the forefront.
Comment from esgjag


Initial impact this is a gorgeous flower
Is it a lily?
Love the single flower look it gives this shot good presentation
Color is good
Center of interest is this flower
Technically I would add some contrast to make the flower pop a bit more. Yellow is a hard color to shoot. I believe you will bring out a bit more detail.
Story is good
Lighting is good.

    Thanks so much for your review. Not sure what the flower is it grows on a very grassy plant and is used a lot by our local councils as it is so hardy (needs to be for me to grow it also)
Comment from Tony B


Very nice job, I like the colors a lot, the out of focus background really draws your eye to the subject. The lighting could not have been better, good work.

Comment from canon shooter


It looks like you got the setting right. I find the all whit flowers are very difficult unless the light is just right. I have a hard time to bring out the detail in the white. Very nice BG and contrast. The only thing I would suggest is maybe the portrait format may be a little more stunning.

    Thanks so much for your review, I have recropped following suggestions by other reviewers and adjusted contrast so hopefully it looks a little better.

This is a lovely close up of the beautiful flower in your garden - lucky you happened to walk outside and saw it. I like the angle you used for this. Lighting and focus very good. Very nice composition.
