This is a great shot of a pretty flower. I like the red and green on the light background. Nicely composed with good focus, detail and doff. Good story telling. Well done. Thanks for sharing. Sam

so elegant Mary. Love the composition and the colors are stunning against the muted contrasting background. Focus shows excellent detail and nice petal texture. Great job on the techs. Very appealing photo.

Thanks so much Sonja, was an outdoor blind used for background should have raised it so I didn't get the line across but the wind would have blown in, really must learn better software editing but never seem to have time ::) :)

i don't have a clue how to edit in software. Don't even have PS or anything similar. Really hard to learn at this age LOL xoxoxo

reply by the author on 24-Sep-2012

Your not wrong about the age bit, I used to do technical drawings on AutoCad before going into Finance/Admin you would think PS would be easy to pick up after all the years of learning different software packages but nooooo straight over my head LOL

i worked in a bank for 20 years and then managed a coffee shop just for something different LOL...now the coffee shop sold and i am unemployed. Not easy to find work at 60!!! Doubt whether i would ever conquer PS unless i did a course...and then i would frustrate the poor tutor to death LOL xoxoxo

Comment from canon shooter
Great work with the light to make the red really pop. Excellent placement of the tulip coming in the corner. If you could remove the gray line I think it would be more stunning! Thanks for the information!

Hello Zilyram

You have done well with composition here. I start in the lower right corner and follow the stem up into the bloom. Here I find a nice capture of the bloom. Details are good and the color is very good.

I also like your background. It is soft and an off white which supports the subject and does not compete with it. The small green leaf left lower helps fill out the Image.

I like this image.


Roger
