A lovely, well exposed flower study. The flower has been well isolated. Good detail in the petals and shadow areas. The angular composition is good, with

the inclusion of leaves to give a base to the image. The black backgrounds makes this very striking. The small bits at the edge of the image should be

cloned out and perhaps the green stem at the top would be better if a little darker. White frames round a digital image can be very distracting when

projected, so they are best kept a only a few pixels wide.
