It's a very interesting look at this exotic flower Miro.
Open to suggestions?
I would boost your contrast/brightness levels just a bit.
Perhaps it's my monitor, but I calibrate regularly.
I would also remove the small blemish on the pink petal FG center as well.

Howard thanks for your suggestions. I appreciate it very much. Actually I've purposely not pushet the contrast high. Following your comments I've increased a bit the contrast and made some make-ups.

The re-post already works better for me, however I still miss some more brightness. But I like the comp. :wavey:

I like both versions, but probably prefer the softness of the original. Purely a subjective choice. I like the detail in the center and the unique look at the center of the flower.

Miro: Really good POV and tight comp. Pretty darn nice color as well. I do prefer the increased punch of the repost. 2 thumbs up. >=))>

Miro:
Unusual POV of a lotus. I like the repost better but also like to see some increase in brightness.

My favourite flower. Will be going to the lotus pond with a local photog club in a couple week.
