Love the flow, the pedals of the flower

The shapes of the petals and the entire flowers are elegant. The colors are alluring. The lighting is superb, except for the small spot of white glare in the left upper corner. I also think that the framing is to tight. I believe the composition would be even more interesting if the petals of beautiful flower below right would not be cut off.

    You're very welcome. :o)
    There is indeed an Georgina O'Keeffe feel to it, at least as photography can do it. I personally think no photograph could ever to justice to her paintings. She was one of a kind.
Comment from Highfive


Very nice color and pleasant feel in the flower pedals in the creative space. The closeup shot really give s the viewer a nice perspective in to color flowers and their décor. I like how you placed the flowers in to the picture plain to create nice shapes and depth of field. Excellent clarity and presentation. Very nice photograph. Thanks

Comment from AndreThreeThou


The first words that come into my head upon seeing this is "splash of color," which there is a lot of with the many pinks and whites coming at me from all sorts of angles. I really like how I feel a sense of motion with all these petals, creating this rich texture full of beautiful shades of simple colors in varying degrees. The sparsely darkened background is just enough to give this photo some gravity, but not too much that would take away the effect of this brilliantly colored composition. It's as though these flowers are glowing!

    It has a O'Keeffe feel to the entire image don't you think?

Perfectly shot and even more importantly, perfectly cropped to yield a very artistic and lovely arrangement showing off the vibrancy of every bloom. Very well done and good luck in the contest.

Comment from Barbara L Manne


I wish I had more of the 6 stars to award this stunning work of photography. This is truly a Georgia O'Keeffe runner-up! I love the close-up view of this photo. The colors are vibrant depicting the beauty of this flower. Such details are apparent and heightened in the bold magenta outline of some of the petals. The cropping is another strong attribute in this composition. Well done!

A beautiful presentation of these stunning flowers. The clarity and focus in this capture is wonderful. The lovely light allows us to see the fine details and colours in the petals. Nicely cropped and all the best in the contest.

Love this Lucien the way you have filled the frame with the beautiful Dahlia flowers which are of the most stunning coloring - the petals are so delicate but so strong. Great focus.
