“Red Flower” by dairygirl08

Very beautiful flowers and crop, the only thing I find that I would change is I would clone out the little flower that hasn’t bloomed yet and try to tone down the harsh lighting on the other two flowers… Soley JMHO

Great color. With a black background, I prefer to have the image surrounded by black – just personal preference. I may or may not eliminate the bud. I like it as is, but would like it as well with just the flowers.
The light and shadow on the petals is a very nice effect. Great photo!

i too could go either way with the little bud hanging to the left. i think this would be stronger without it. and i also like the very dynamic blossoms against the black. the longer i look at it, the more i think the unblossomed flower should go. beautiful shot!

Nicely done! I really like all the shadows in this photo! I have to agree with J.K., the bud in the back pulls your focus away from the flowers.
