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.
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
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.
Thank you all for your kind comments. Thank you also for those who have given me feedback which I so badly need it is all much appreciated and inspires me to try harder.
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.
