Chrysanthemums & Dahlias Outdoors

I love the angle that you shot this flower. I feel it gives the viewer just a little peek of the center of the flower. Your focus area works beautifully for this image by drawing the eye to the petals in the frontal layer and then delicately leading it to the center. Great job! I love it!

I loved the effects you chose to use on this photo. The textures of the petals and the water drops seem so surreal. Your use of color is spectacular. The different shades and hues of pinks and purples add a pleasing aura to the photo. I think this photo would be an awesome square print crop!

I love the soft focus on this shot. You drew my eye to the insect perched on the flower without taking away from the beauty of the image. The effects make it feel as though it was a watercolor portrait. I just love that feathery soft feel of the texture. Good job!

This photo is all about the texture. I love the way you have directed detail to each petal. I can almost "feel" the ridges on the petals. Your use of monochromatic shades of pink are brilliantly executed in this photo. The composition is spot on by drawing the viewers eye sirectly to the center of the focus points.
