Canon EOS 7D Mark II TAMRON SP 90mm F/2.8 Di MACRO 1:1 272EE
f/8, 1/2500, +0.67, ISO 800
Aperture Priority, Evaluative Metering
Imported into LR, processed in CC PS 2017 and Topaz, cropped from left and right (see below)

So I saw this nice isolated yellow flower and I thought "Oh, cool." Then when I sat down and started processing this image I realized the composition was going to be really difficult because of the difference in the direction of the petals. This is what I came up with. Please let me know what you think.

Any feedback would be appreciated. Thank you!

Barbara, in my opinion there is a perfect harmony in the direction of the stamens and that of the petals. I love the carousel designed by stamens with the pistil. An excellent photo for me.

Barb,

I like what you have done to get this composition. Lighting is good and I like the translucent nature of the petals. Well done...........................Jim

I can't do anything but echo what Jim and Gigi have stated. Well taken, composed and processed. Also, I think the square format is pefectly appropriate for this image. Well done! cool
