Hi Stolte33
I love the composition with the centre being in the bottom left and the detail of the centre that you've captured. The petals seem a little to "all same red" across the rest of the shot to me. Not being over technical and just beginning myself, i'm not sure i have the right to say such things, sorry if i've overstepped the mark Whether lighting or a setting you used would need adjusting to capture a little more variety in the petals i'm not sure. Maybe one of the more technical bods on here can help with that. Happy Snapping, Lorraine

i think what Lou could be saying is alter the lighting ever so slightly to give a touch more shadow to light on each petal, define the petals a little more. Great shot btw. Its just screaming out to be a canvas...20x16 or bigger
