It's a good idea to use the super wide as a macro, Roger. I agree with your view, the perspective you've obtained here, is effective. Possibly a bit more saturation, on the flowers, may improve it further.

That's very encouraging, Matej. Others wanted me to remove the peripheral "distractions," which wasn't the idea at all... There IS something to be said for putting them in context. But I find people so difficult that the idea of combining people with flowers rather daunts me, I must say. I'll think about your suggestion, though.

I prefer this approach. Flower shots with the added value of a meaningful context are not so frequently seen; the technique you've used has allowed you to present a more original and interesting perspective. Maybe it would be worthwhile to extend this photo into a bigger project (combining close-up flowers not only with architecture, but perhaps also people).

Carlos, I thought the objection to the sky was its peculiar colour, and I even thought of making it blue in PS, although I usually hate the idea of messing with the original photo like that. I was very keen to show the entire "scene" with the house nearby, so deliberately included the roof. But when I tried your suggested crop I must admit it looks better. Thanks a LOT!

I?m not a flower guy - I don?t get hysterical over flowers particularly, but that does not exclude me from appreciating the purity of this fine arrangement. A curious ?oriental? painterly feel to this - very attractive indeed!
Like Quinton Weeks I too find the ?sky? a visual intrusion to what the shot is about! A square crop starting just a speck below from where the roof angles would be best. Best? Well? I dont know about that! Just my take on it Roger. Nothing more.

The colours are very striking, Roger and the details are distinct. It is very pretty.

I could never explain so good the technique like you did... :-) Thanks for the lesson. :-)
I still have too much to learn about photography....
You?ve got a great composition for these beautiful little flowers. Lovely colours.
Congratulations.

Yes, I like the wide angle approach, Roger.
I like the colours and sharpness of the subjects, too.
Best regards, Chris
