Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent. Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature. Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread. Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Taken with the kit lens.

Very vibrant colours.
Are you shooting these indoors against a backdrop or something? Dunno if its just the lighting, but the 'internal' stalks seem a bit out of focus? Canon 20D and a bunch of lovely L glass and a 580EX. Benro tripod. Manfrotto monopod. Lowepro and Crumpler bags. And a pair of Sigma teleconverters, and some Kenko tubes. http://www.dionm.net/
Yup indoors against a black backdrop with angled and diffused fash.

Nice colours and framing oneputt. If it was the kit lens then perhaps you were inside the minimum close focus distance because the petals are a little soft on my screen.
It would be interesting to have the twin flowers offset or change perspective a little so that one sits back from the other and experiment with variable focussing or selective focussing. Just to see what visual effect it might present. cheers marco
That's a stunning image John. If I was to offer any sort of critique, it would be to widen the crop a little bit as they seem a little crowded horizontally. I'm sure, however, you've made your decision based on what you had in front of you.
Well done. Simon

Simon I'll own up that all I was trying to do was see what I could do with the kit lens. It is not cropped at all, and I gave very little thought to the composition

John,
What a hoot. Always gratifying that something can perform tasks adequately which seem to push the envelope of anticipated expectation. If you do have a means of getting closer I think there could be some additional great games to play with the negative space between the blooms and the network of lines therein. _______________

Nice detail John.
