Soooo pretty and delicate. The mini DOF is perfect for this showcase. Fabulous idea and great color captured.

Thanks Mary Sue... I will post the other here as well and see if others have an opinion. I think the original still grabs me as the top kinda starts the swirl that eventually leads your eye down into the flower, but I can see the beauty in the square format as well. Perhaps something for a triptych.
BTW.. when can we expect some new images from you? Flowers are blooming! *grin*

I've looked at this a few times, and it really grabs me each time. The deep rich colors are so intense that they are almost intoxicating.
I played around with the image a bit by scrolling up and down to crop it slightly at the top. What do you think of the image if you crop off about the top 1/4 of the image...to just below that little group of yellow flowers at the top. That really isolates the sharply focused blossom, and the bg still adds a diagonal element.
Anyway, every time I view the image I find myself doing that...maybe worth playing with if it interests you.

Thanks for the comment Dirck... they DO look like candy corn (god how I hate that stuff!)
I agree that the darker green would have made for a better background, but I just couldn't manage to get that shot without comprimising other things.
Thanks for the comment!

Beautiful deep, rich colors! I like that you chose just a single flower to 'represent' them all - with the rest singing backup! :) A shot taken just to the left and up a bit would be nice, too, placing the flower more sqarely in the dark area... (this is known as a 'jealousy' nit-pick! :) If I can find out what these are called I'll post it - they're the colors of candy corn!
