Though flower photography as a general rule is not strikingly original, you've succeded in making a very beautiful piece of art in that casee.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="
The first thing I loved about the picture is a very nice DoF which greatly sets all the accens and the main emphasis in the image.
Secondly, the colors which look both natural and pleasant. Also a combination of yellow and violet-blue is one of my favouritese.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="
The light is balanced and nicely defines the shape and volume of the flowers.
The only thing I could think of as a possible improvement is an overall composition. It appears to me that the image would produce even more impact with 3 flowers instead of 4 - the first one is sharp, the second is a bit more out of focus and the third one is very blurry.
Overall a wonderful picture! Fave.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="

haha you're right about the flowers not being original.. just be glad I didn't put a drop ontop of it, now that would be unoriginal
I am too very happy with the DoF here, but you might be right about the composition, my compositions in general can use some work, but in this case it was extra hard because I was lying on the ground shooting those and I hardly could see anything trough my viewfinder or even on liveview.. but that's not an excuse to not try harder next time right? No but I think it would be an interesting study to try out some flower comps in 2 pairs or in 2 to 1.. now it just need another lazy sunny afternoon and it'll be great!
thanks for the critique, much appreciated!

Really lovely -- the soft focus gives it a sort of painterly quality.
