Nice color and comp. It is hard to tell on this size image, but it looks a touch soft and it could just be my eyes.

Too dark for me, but I like what I can see in terms of composition and DOF. Brighten it up!

Lovely shot Todd, I agree on the little soft ,but the images works well over all , I don't mind the darker exposure as it really adds great mood to the tightly furled pedals. :toast:

Considering the timing, I'd guess this might one of the Anemone buds but I am not very positive. Might be a wee bit soft but it goes well with the tenderness of the bud. Love the lines going up as a spiral. Good work using 68mm of extension.

Beautiful lines on this image. I like the softness, gives it a dreamy appeal.. maybe a wee bit brighter??

Nice subject, composition and background. The softness and the lack of brightness could be improved, as already mentioned. Certainly worth the effort. :wavey:

At first I thought this was too dark but the more I look at it, the more I like it that way. The darkness keeps it a little bit mysterious. I agree that it could use some sharpening.
