 Taken with the Coolpix 5400 in honor of DrAchoo breaking his 5D. I don't want to hear any excuses from him about having to use a point and shoot!

I'll drink to that! (means I like it-the picture), my favorite-drink, a chocolate martini, that is.

What the hell is a dirty martini? I like how the white flower is quite sharp. Diagonal composition is nice.

Your lighting and BG choices are very nice. My only thought is that you might consider simplifying the composition next time by removing all but one flower. Methinks you'll gain some impact. Good luck!

HEE HEE - cute idea. That funky mauvy pink background kind of distracts a bit for me. Love the tilt. Good focus. Good DOF. 7
