Sorry I can't oblige with a brutal critique -- I love it. It practically screams "look at me" from the thumbnails. Gorgeous composition and color.

Get off the fence Jorge!!! This works, not sure how this was cropped, have you anything on the left, I find the bottom right hand corner to be only area of doubt..

Great idea though...

Beautiful as always Jorge. I would like to see the full tip of the top vertical petal. DOF is fine with that point of focus. Love the view and colours. You have a real knack for these types of flower shots, never stop M8t. :)

All the best Jorge, nice soft, delicate colours.

Thanks guys... This is full frame. I blurred the top petal to blend in more into the bg. Does this make it less distracting?

Funny you should do that Jorge, because that does work for me anyway. I would never had thought of doing that to be honest. Yes I like it better. Seems to balance better. Nice choice and job Jorge :)

The repost is better Jorge, that dark triangle on the bottom right still bothers me though :roll:

The second one Jorge has that softness and flow that really appeals to me a little better than the first.
Comp, color, lighting, .............. nice one!! :)

I think the tip crop works, and I like the lower one better. I like the far petal all OOF...
