Calendula  by lwain

Calendula

I went around to visit my aunt today and discovered this vibrant flower which I think is a Calendula.
I spent ages taking this photo using a variety of focal points and finally settled on this one.
I would love any constructive comments or criticisms re how I might have made this photo better.
Best viewed larger.
Very pretty!

I really like this picture there is nothing I would change. I like the colour of the background, it's not distracting nor is it too dark or light. The colour of the petals is lovely and I think it makes infinite sense to have the petals closest to the viewer in focus rather than those furthest away. It's a +fav for me

This is so beautiful. I love that you took it from the side rather than head-on. It makes all the difference. Really lovely.

Wonderful shot. Much like what David H. said above. I think I would have cropped it a little wider to include all of the petals, but other than that, it's a really nice shot.

I think it is a beautiful shot. The only feedback I have is to agree that I might have made the crop a little bigger to include the edges. On a side note, I don't know if you noticed this or not but to reply to someone you can click the reply link and it will add their @ id so that they get notified of your comment.

Popular for a reason. It's simple, and the color is amazing. Excellent shot. I wouldn't change a thing.
