Radiating 2

I liked the second one best. It had a less extreme POV; but that's a personal inclination only. Others will think differently, surely.

Nathan,

I think I like the second one better. It appears more artistic to me. Either way it is a close call. Cropping the stem, the detail of the center and the pastel color makes this a very nice image for me. Well done.

Another beauty, Nathan. I love your point of focus, and subdued colors and lighting on the petals. Great composition, too.

I don't know, Nathan. They've all be excellent. Hard to pick a favorite. All different but equally good. I like the pof and detail in this one, but I miss the radiating lines in the previous version. I say print them all.

Wow, hard to pick. I like the POF here. This might be my pick. All are great in my opinion.

I like this one much better than the other...I think because of the POV you used here!

Nathan: I much prefer this version for its POF and the placement of the center in the frame. Most excellent. >=))>

Nathan
This is my fav. The POV is more interesting and the intrusive triangle of the first and the green of the second are not present here. Most excellent.

Nathan, another splendid vision of this nice flower, with your trademark.
Cheers.

Oooh tough shot and pulled off beautifully. I'm addicted to flower photos, but the health of the flower so often dictates the remainder of the photographers work. This is a shot I hope to achieve in my own work. A beautifully healthy flower, with lots of color, contrast and willingness to be photographed. Lovely.
