Flower - Another try @ Macro and AV mode. C/C

[dslrchat]

Here is my latest try with AV mode.
Only PP was to convert from RAW to Jpeg and to resize.
1, how is composition? (I missed part of the bottom pedal in the shot)
2, How were my settings? (S1/500 A 5.0 ISO 100)
3, What would you have done differently?
4, What, if any, PP would you do?

Thanx

1) Yeh... as you already mentioned, you clipped the pedal at the bottom of the frame. I would have shot at a higher angle to give the flower more 3 dimensions. The white and the ruffles in the pedals make it difficult to distinguish far and near.

2) Settings don't matter... but the final print does. DOF is good. You can soften up the harsh shadows a little with a fill flash. I think the settings you used are fine.

3) A little fill. A slightly higher angle. Closer up if you can.. fill the frame

4) In PP, I would probably clone out the one lone green leaf at the bottom left.

I agree with all of the above comments, but pretty flower!
