Hi

A nice exposure and lighting look for this composition with the textures of the petals also coming across rather superbly

I’d wonder about including the more colourful lower aspect more centrally within the framing, but perhaps that would have created too central an appearance for the stronger line effects??

Nice overall

All the best

Very interesting photo Jorge. I like the off-centre composition the shallow DOF and delicate colours. No improvement suggestion is on my mind.

Very nice photo Jorge . The top part of the flower looks almost metallic looking

excellent jorge 8)
the large swath of color is perfect and balances nicely against the translucence of the petals...which are very nice! the selective focus on the edges is lovely...

Wouldn't change a thing here Jorge! Beautiful delicate lines and soft colours in a lovely composition.

Nothing empty about this frame, Jorge. This is a beautiful abstract with such pleasing color and lines. The translucent petals are very well presented with perfect control of the white. Lovely. :-)
