Roses are red...

Nice shot of a rose. A bit overexposed highlights, but nice contrast between darks and lights. To make it even better and stronger image, I suggest cropping off the top and right parts of the image. The over-exposed rose bud at top right is a distraction, as is the cut of bud above the rose.

Go Green

Nicely handled lighting and colour. The green is pleasing, not overpowering. You need to work on your composition. Try the flower on an angle (diagonals make great line compositions). In this case, you needed a bit more space on the left, as the flower is almost touching the edge. Also, the border doesn't need to be that thick. It doesn't help the image. Nice thin one would have been quite enough. 7

Double Split Complementary Colors

Neat idea. I don't mind the grain of the image, but would suggest cropping off about three quartrs of an inch from the bottom to get rid of the yellow reflection.

Beautiful strong colours. The leaf is a bit overexposed (blown out highlights). Also, when you photograph on such a dark surface, watch out for dirt (give it a quick blow, before you put down the leaf).

Unlucky clover

This is a unique idea and well composed image. I love the way the sharpness fades into the background. Too bad the clover is not sharp. Your lens might have been too close to it for good sharpness. Also try making the border dark green. The black doesn't fit with the rest of the soft colours.

There is so much detail in this photo. The colours are great and it is so well lit. The background is perfect. The only thing I would just completely avoid is the border. It doesn't really improve the image, it takes away from it.

Nicely done. The detail on the glass is a nice touch. Like the composition as well. As a suggestion, tone down (darker or make thinner) the white border. It's brightness competes for attention.

The sun in the bottom corner is such a nice touch to this lovely image.

This is such a beautiful photo. Love the composition, the detail and soft background. I would have given it the highest mark, if it weren't for the thick border. This image would do well with thin border. 9

Rose Bug

Beautiful detail on the bug. Nice complimentary colours. The rose petals are a bit overexposed (way too bright) and the bottom is blurry, which takes attention away from the bug.
