Hi, #5 & #6 appeal to me most with #5 probably my single choice, good luck.

I do a lot of flower pix and have come to the conclusion that simple is best. Of the 6 you've posted - 1 is good but I feel would be better with the background blacked out. 2 - is too busy. 3 - would have been better without the buds and with the blemishes on the petals removed. 4 - Great. 5 - Bin it and 6 - Great.
Between 4 & 6 it's difficult to choose probably 4 and definitely so if it were slightly brighter

I like number 4 the best, the colors are beautiful and the overall feel of the photo is very delicate.

#4 for me I love the black background and the lighting. After that 2 with a square crop to get rid of some of the unimportant foliage in the background. Since you didn't upload an original that hinges on it being in tack sharp focus. I think this one has the most interesting subject. I also like #5, but am not sure if the cropped petals would get points deducted.

Thanks for your comments. #4 seems to be catching on. Perhaps lightening the flower would make it more appealing?



Yes, exactly - otherwise, #6 - the lighting in the flower and the stillness of the water pop pretty well.

They are all great. As I went down through them they got better and better. Hard choice between the last 3. #4 looks like a studio shot, stunning, love the lighting. #5 love the color! #6 so peaceful, its perect to me. I might lean towards 4.

This is tough because they are all really good, and its very subjective which is better. I like the last two the best. The contrast between the Pink Lotus flower and the green seed pod is very cool in the next to last, but the reflection in the last is also nice. Simplicity but balance. I would definitely pick one of those two.


I agree.

There will be many very good flower pictures. Yours have to be different to capture attention.

I would have to go with 4 or 6.
Beautiful lines in 4 and 6 is stunning in its simplicity and execution.
GOOD LUCK!!!!

#6 is the one that "pops" for me.

I'm going to enter one of these into our State Fair contest and wanted to ask you to select which one you think is best. If you see one that you like, but could use some work, let me know what needs to be done.

I've have one in mind, which I won't tell you so I don't influence you, and another one was selected by a friend who judges photos. I'm not all that thrilled with the one she picked, but she said it had a "wow" factor to it. She hasn't seen the one I like so maybe she would change her mind if she saw it. Anyway, it's all subjective, but I'd like to get your opinion.

Thanks.

I agree, but I'd heal out the bug on the Pink lotus.
