These are three stages of my wifes Lucifer.
Feel free to critique. Have a good Saturday.

I personaly feel you could have composed these a little better with "Boarder Patrol" - checking your shot through the view finder by going areound all 4 sides of the frame making sure you have every thing in the photo you want as well as unwanted things out.
Photo #1 - all of the stem needs to be in the photo -
#2 about the same thing - cutting off the blosom is not good.
#3 is a good shot that could show less of the stem - this stem could lead into the lower frame edge as it is a close up - cropping with just a few full blooms.
All good subjects but a reason for doing as I mentioned and not rushing the shots - maybe takeing more and choosing the best of te bunch. JMHO

Agree with the above, but it's a great effort. I would'nt have the patience to sit still for so long.

in addition to the composition suggestions already made when I look at this I see nothing in focus.
Secondly, hate to break the news but photography at any level requires patience.
Thanks for all your critiques and suggestions, I'll try better next time.

Oh! That's my problem, patience. Thanks, I'll work on that. I must admit my wife has mentioned it a few times.

You're right. I have been hearing for twenty years or more so I hope I'm close to getting it.
When I seriously came into photography with my first SLR at about age 53- it was very hard for me to "Slow Down and Compose The Shot" all my life I was prodded to "Get IT Done Faster" in my work environment so it carried over into my photography also. My mentor would take 2 shots to my 12. I would sort thu 2 or 3 rolls of 24 exposures for the best of the trip he would sort thru a roll of 12 exposures, yes in the past 20 yrs I have learned to be patient in composing my shots.
