A nice composition. The colors are a bit on the dull side though.

A very striking and engaging pose - almost magazine quality in my opinion. The lighting choice doesn't flatter the subject matter to its full advantage though and the hand looks soft. The specular highlight in the middle far left is also a bit of a distraction. The dress is also chopped off prematurely on the right hand side of the image.

With a bit more attention to the above - particular the lighting - I think this photo has the potential to be resubmitted in a future challenge and garner a solid 10.

I like the image, though I find there are too many visual focal points. My eye is drawn all over the photo in a random manner as each bloom competes for my attention.

Silky Petals

I like the choice of framing, however I would like to have seen the entire flower fall within the interior red rectangular boundary.

I've never seen a fish look angry :-) Nice composition and color contrasts. The lillies look a bit oversharpened to my eye.

A little on the underexposed side and the focus doesn't flatter the image to its full advantage. The flower also looks past its prime.

Interesting color contrast. The color saturation of the bloom could be toned down just a notch.

Nicely framed, though, I would have liked to have seen the bottom petal of the yellow flower not cut off by the bottom of the image frame. The overall focus is off as well and could be sharper. I like the color of the flowers as well the visual arc formed by the flowers as your eye moves through the image starting at the bottom and ending at the top middle of the frame.

Very nice contrasting colors. I like the soft focus on the stem. The actual bloom looks a bit on the noisey side to my eye and the stamin could be just a touch sharper.
