I love how you close you brought us to this beauty. The shadows are just a bit distracting. A diffuser would let you soften that flash just a bit. Or, you could bounce it off a wall or posterboard. Love the composition, Todd.

Todd:
I like your composition and POV. Like Varina, I think the flash is a little strong.

I like the composition...the light from the flash doesn't bother me. The noise is a bit distracting, esp. in the BG.

Great composition on this, Todd. This would have look great all in focus but nice as is. I see a fair amount of noise in the BG.

Nice composition. I like how the flower is wedged into the corner of the frame as if it is in a vase. :smile:
The lighting does look a little harsh but not too bad. I do find the noise distracting though.

Hey Todd, like the comp, light doesn't bother me, looks like a high ISO shot with the noise in the red area.
