Comment from El-mundo
A nice capture of this pretty pink sweet pea coming into blossom, captured here with good timing regarding how early it is for bloom - the 1/2 star is reluctantly dropped as the focus, although showing sharp clarity and detail on the petals and their veins, in soft and blurry and could have been an even better capture had you taken a few more and got a nice still one. Also a little too much dead space for me; I would crop every side to some degree to focus on the central point, but in this case it would blur up thus creating a catch 22. A great effort though in good lighting and well spotted, making it feel like winter was 5 minutes long. :)

Thanks for the review and the critique.

A beautiful flower and a nicely composed shot of it. The light is great and gives you rich saturated colors, but the image is somewhat soft. Perhaps a higher ISO would give you a faster shutter speed for hand holding.

Thanks Mike. Yeah I noticed that but couldn't figure out how to adjust for it in post processing.
