Latest Flower Pic

[Bo4key]

Took this shot in my parents' yard in one of their many flower beds, seems I find something new every time I visit them.

I really like the range of tones of orange and the contrast with the green. Thoughts?

Posted this late last night, maybe no one saw it.

C&C would be greatly appreciated.

The flower is beautiful but i think it's better to have a depth of field less important for more focus on the flower and less on the leaves

Yes, I wish I would have used a larger aperture.

You have a straight on shot of a flower here........not a very interesting shot because it is the way that we see a flower everyday. Try to play w/ your angles or your DoF. Keep shooting!! It's hard to take a overly exciting flower shot!!

I like the focus on this one but the foreground is a little distracting and the brown leaf on the left as well.

You say what i want to say maybe you have to take the picture a little higher to see a part of the center of the flower

I guess it's a matter of personal taste, since mishele was telling me that straight on is boring.

The colors are just too beautiful. Nature is perhaps the best artist of them all. You did well in capturing that picture. Looks really high quality
