Re: Flower

Summer,
This is such a beautiful blossom........ perhaps you could have brought out more of that beauty had you used a contrasting background and included more of the blossom in the frame.
Some who take this kind of shot strive for realism and some for the abstract. If it is realism that you want, then a greater depth of field will help so that we see more of the petals in sharp focus. If it is the abstract - then a very narrow dof and only portions of the blossom in the frame will often work.
IMHO, the shot above is neither firmly in one genre or the other so, while I appreciate the subjects innate beauty, the photo lacks impact for me.
