Anne,
I like to perspective and excellent detail of this single flower. There is a tiny sliver of gray on the right which I would crop out.   Posted: 08/08/2026 14:16:28

Thanks Dean! I get so focused on the flower that I don't see small background things that are so easily taken out. I'll take it out.   Posted: 08/08/2026 14:30:46

Macro images of flowers are some of my favorites. What I love about this is that it is not the most beautiful flower in the garden, but each has its value. Your depth of field and sharpness are perfect. I might crop just a smidge off on the left-hand side to bring it a little off center. (This is really splitting hairs!) I'd also remove the light segment coming from behind the left-hand petals. I find it to be distracting in an otherwise perfect image.   Posted: 08/09/2026 20:08:49

Thank you Lee Ann! I'll try removing the light segment. That's the hard correction for me. The rest is easy!   Posted: 08/09/2026 22:39:51

Anne, beautiful bloom. I would just take out the white spot on the left, as my eye goes directly there.   Posted: 08/16/2026 16:33:10

Thanks Rita! I guess I have to concentrate on the whole picture and not just what captured my attention! It's going to come out.   Posted: 08/16/2026 17:32:38
