Judges Comments

Good colour in this Waratah and it is what appears to be a very nice specimen. The back lighting is well handled and shows up the
texture of the flower well except that there is a dominant shaded area in the front, this can be easily corrected with either fill flash
or a reflector to guide light into the shaded area. While placed fairly centrally in the frame the flower is shown well against the leaves of the
plant, maybe you could have cropped slightly closer to eliminate some if the highlights in the background with the sky showing through the trees.
