Hi

I rather like the swirling circle made by those not quite fully opened looking petals – which I guess means that you would not get a clear view into the flowers centre? Either way a pleasing image – although I could see getting in close and just concentrating upon those petals shapes making for a grand image as well

All the best
Matthew

Fine DOF choice and angle on the flower - beautiful colors. I had the same thought as Matthew about filling the frame with the petal lines.

Very pleasing image, I do agree that a closer view/crop might help.

Gorgeous image Kostas -- I love the spiral pattern of petals, and the control of lighting.

Great comp, colours and those swirling petals look brilliant......i'm slightly with you on the centre, but not a big problem at all Kostas, great shot!

Beautiful image of this lovely flower Kostas! I love this for the way the petals curve and swirl around the centre, and I hope you have a selection of different views - including some super close up shots to make the most of the wonderful lines.
