if it were a little more focused you would have a great flower shot! 6

Cool composition and color, wish the focus was sharper it looks like the plane of focus was right around the red edge of the center, not the center.

This is a bit too soft. If you are going to go in this far you should make it tac-sharp. If you want to go for the soft look, back off a bit and get the flower out to the tips of the petals. It is also hard to determine if the softness is intentional or because of a missed focus point...

The center of this flower would would have made so much more of an impact in this shot had it been tack sharp.

the face is uniformly blurry, which is a big issue with macros on flowers; the level of noise will also hurt your score. it feels like it was done on a mobile phone. an interesting species of flower though, and the colour reproduction is very nice, bold and rbight. but it needs better focus. 3.

I think moving the camera a bit farther back might help. I have a feeling that you are inside the minimum focal distance of your lens.

Nice "fill the frame" image. Somewhat too soft a focus for me. BOL

This kind of shots require extreme sharpness that is lacking here...

The centered composition makes for little interest. The shot is also out of focus, making it very hard to look at.

Unfortunately, the very soft focus here hurts the beauty that's surely in the details.

Focus seems to be on parts of the petals, instead of on the center of the image.
