Lovely close-up

so here is the question...do you edit out the flies/bugs to get the unmarred photo or leave it...I think....I would have cloned them out...as they just don't add to the photo...and what a wonderful shot it is...such wonderful shadows and lighting...(the little bugs didn't bring my vote down...just pondering)

Nice flower, and good colour.

stunning macro - well done
03/15/2009 11:00:27 PM
I think a wider crop that doesn't cut off the edges of the petals would work even better here

This is nice but I would have scored it higher had it been just a bit sharper.

Nice light on the beautiful flower. The insects makes it really look alive.

Very, very nice. Water droplets, white, nice yellow. The black bugs kind-of distract, but what can you do?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 08:27:51 PM
Intersting.
03/14/2009 08:01:36 PM
I think you went in too close, Backing off a bit would have been better. which could have helped in getting a crisper focus.6

Nice light play on the petals.

Gorgeous. Darned flies!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 11:49:05 PM
dread those bugs...
03/13/2009 02:59:14 PM
Nice flower. I think the bugs might detract from this particular picture. Maybe a tighter crop?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice shot...good detail and crop. I just noticed the fly upside down on the left. Poor guy.

03/13/2009 01:58:51 PM
Image feels kinda dark to me.
03/13/2009 01:46:21 PM
Pretty flower, though the bugs on it really detract from it.

Nice colors and composition

Very lovely!
03/13/2009 09:59:08 AM
Beautiful lilly.
Funny I have a imilar image and have exactly the same flys on my flower. Must be lilly flies. Good focus

I like the light and I'm quite fond of water lilies. Can't decide if the bugs should have been cloned out, though. I keep looking at them instead of the flwoer and they're not that pretty.

03/13/2009 01:36:27 AM
Lovely. I like the precise focus.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 11:38:05 PM
pretty,don;t like the flies
03/12/2009 08:21:08 PM
Interesting point of view, and I like that the flower almost fills the frame.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 02:28:20 PM
Nice flower, though I do think the bugs distract a little, but that's reality for you.

very nice colors and sharpness.

03/12/2009 04:21:29 AM

03/11/2009 11:46:40 PM
little bugs bug me.. lighting is kind of harsh
03/11/2009 09:55:27 PM
Nice close up, good capture of the water droplets.

03/11/2009 09:11:40 PM
This is good... sharp... but lacks some 'zip', I fear. More something (or less bugs) to make it really sing!

Lily is covered in insects. Are they flies?
03/11/2009 12:46:12 PM
Very very nice!! Wonderful clarity and detail. Definitely a 10!

There is always a bug in my lotus.
03/11/2009 09:56:54 AM
nice light, a little more contrast would be good,
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 08:47:31 AM
Its ok but it needs something. More focus I think and more coloring. Its kind of flat.

03/11/2009 04:21:31 AM
lovely colours and the insects are a bonus

Nice shot although the OOF flies detract a little.
