Very cool. Fine detail. Have you tried darkening the background a little?

Krunal: Wonderful subjects and a fine capture. I like this as is but darkening the BG sounds like a good suggestion as well. Nicely done.>=))>

Hi Krunal,

What beautiful little flowers you've found. Lots of perfect detail.

I personally like the BG as is. Dependent on the size and resolution of the image, I would like to see you crop this even further and take only the three flowers on the left for your composition. Folks do tend to be drawn to odd numbers rather than even numbers.

These Bladder Campions make good subjects.

Nicely balance composition Krunal and the detail is superb. The bilateral symmetry in the composition appeals to me. I also think that darkening the bg would be worth a look anyway. Beautiful image as posted.

Krunal:
Great details here and nice pattern on the flowers. I agree with others about darkening the bg to make this pop.

Always have wanted to see these in person. Looks like you captured the delicacy of the flowers very well with good exposure on the whites. Wish the background were even a little more uncomplicated than it already is. Good shot, Krunal.
