You did a great job on this picture. For some reason these flowers (Indian blanket) don't photograph well for me. Yellows in particular give me trouble. Fantastic work!

fun pic

my advice is that your framing of the shot, framing is composition and composition is everything.

in other words, get the beautiful flower out of dead center its bad for our eyes!

good shot, just think of the thirds rule in ur next shoot!

Duh; clearly the subject of this shot is the soft-focus blue flower at upper left.

I am enjoying the photo!
No doubt.
Lovely DOF, beautiful background, and the flower is a beauty as is, too.
You work with the perfect symmetry and roundness of the flower here, I take it, hence the centredness. I am sure you decided to compose your photos like this for a reason and not out of making a silly mistake. Am I right?

Thanks for the feedback! I realize the rule of thirds, but occasionally, such rule of thirds does not work. The depth of field helps out along with the colors of the flower. Not the most artistic shot...but decent?
