When I look for your flowers, Sheila, I was pushed for my child memorys... for two reasons, first: i like to walk on fields on spring! second: the composition, the crop you made, male me remind how I feel on these time, some days... it's something so deep then I just find theses words (and my english it's so limited... I hope you understand me) Thank you for this emotions! »»smiles«« Paula

Hi Sheila! It's very beautiful and serene picture. You definitely could crop it differently as many have suggested, but i like it this way. The only thing that i don't like is the white frame. It somehow competes with whiteness of the flowers. You could try thiner frame maybe. I don't think removing the frame will work either. very nice pic!

Hi Sheila. Very nice capture. Nice bright white's while maintaining a good amount of detail. Bright yellow's and very precise placement of all the elements. Great use of DOF too, and there's no doubt that the rightmost flower is the main subject.

I would agree with previous critics that there's just a bit too much negative space at right and I'd suggest cropping just to the left of your signature for better balance between the subjects and the "void". Quite beautiful. Steve

Hey Sheila. Very nicely done! I love the details and clarity you rendered from the main flower. Exposure is superb. The fact that you kept the edges of the two, as well as the bud on the left separated shows that you carefully examined your composition. Background is pleasing too. I am trying to imagine how you could work more with the 3 round buds for a pleasing image there too. They look like great minimal shapes to play with. Congrats... :)Robin

hi Robin, thanks so much for the feedback! i liked those little buds too, and i wish i had taken some pictures of them by themselves. i'll try to get back to the zoo next week to get a picture. this time of year, a lot can change in one week, but i'll keep my fingers crossed! thanks again! glad you like! Cheers! sheila

Thumb-up Thumb-up    from edwin/Edwin K.W. (225,860) Send mail to this user on October 28, 2006 1:36:58 AM CDT (8) Early critique

A very well done shot on the white flowers Sheila, they just appear so white with softness and kinda harmony on my screen, it is difficult to get the white as great from digital camera but you have certainly achived it. No doubt on your focus and sharpness on the object flower, the two flowers pops up from the blurred and darker background so beautifully and effectively that my eyes are just stuck on them without hesitation. Perhaps I would make a suggestion on your crop, the size of flower is so small comparatively to the entire photo, a little trim on the top and right side may look more balance to me. Very nicely done floral shot Sheila. Congratulation and Cheers........Edwin

hi Edwin, thanks so much for taking the time to look at this and give me some feedback! i was hoping to get some tips from you 'cause i've always loved your flowers! i wasn't sure about all that space on the right, but since you and Kassie both suggested i trim it some, i'll definitely give it a try! i'm glad you like! thanks again! Cheers! sheila

Hi Sheila! I really like this one a lot. Maybe a tighter crop on the right? There seems to be a lot of empty space. Your focus is really great here!! The background works good as well. Very well done!! - Kassie
