Great colors and exposure, my only suggestion is to remove the green foliage in top left. Well done   Posted: 11/04/2024 23:03:04

aGaetan, interesting composition and you did well managing to keep the background out of focus. For me the colors are a little saturated - meaning the green leaves and I am bothered just a little by the reddish upper right with the large black blob. And I suggest cropping off some of the top, just enough to get rid of that upper leaf as for me there is too much space above the flower - which my app says is called a dwarf chenille, a species of copperleafs.   Posted: 11/07/2024 00:26:31

Hi Gaetan: Both Dan and Ray make some valid points, all I can add is to the right of the main red stalk there is a small brown out of focus object that seems out of place and does not fit your background scheme.   Posted: 11/07/2024 03:21:14

Well done for the stacking.
I like the colors (red and green) and the sharpness of the flower.
As already mentioned the 2 green (top and middle left) leaves are distubring.   Posted: 11/20/2024 22:15:36
