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.

Flowershots
I decided to post these two shots I took on the weekend, mostly because while I quite like both, I'm not so certain about their overall effectiveness and how I might best improve them.
This flower was actually mostly closed, so I shot it from head-on, focusing on the centre and letting the petals be as blurry as they wanted to be. (shooting from the 'if it's blurry it's art' school!) 
This was originally a portrait-style shot from side on, showing the full flower and a fair bit of sky, but I decided to crop it to landscape to highlight the one stamen (pistil?) surrounded by its peers, framed (sort of) by the petals on each side. 
Hey I really like how the short DOF has worked on the first image! It gives it an almost 3D effect for me...
The second one's almost abstract... Not normally a flower image person, but these I really like... Something different and more creative than the norm...  Aka Andrew
