You could make the flowers sharper by using a tripod (no camera shake, longer shutter speed and smaller aperture) and focusing on the second flower from the front instead of the one closest to the camera. The composition is okay, but not great. It needs some flowing lines to give the appearance of depth.

A nice subject as composed, David, and difficult to do such a nice job. You have not provided shooting data, so I can't suggest exact improvement. I believe this image can be helped by using the Sharpen Tool and sharpening the 'stems,' to improve apparent focus, especially at their edges. I'd use a small brush size and only about 10% opacity. Sharpen only as necessary. If you do the sharpening on a layer copy, you can later erase any parts that seem too sharp or contrasty. Again I'd use just 10% opacity with the Eraser Tool. Use repeated strokes to effect optimum level of sharpness. I always tinker with the layer copy's opacity slider, too. Eventually, I'd flatten the image. 1.5 TU.

Good picture! Mysterious creature makes an impression of something extraterrestrial with its saturated colors and queer forms.

Hi David. I like your title. The colours and composition is good. All the 'fingers' in the 'fist'not being in focus and sharp, is unfortunately bringing down this picture alot. Thanx for sharing. Kind regards Ursula

I don't understand how an image can have a good composition but still be uninspired and uninteresting.
