Christiano,

For my tastes this is very striking. Love the point of view you took. Wonderful and fascinating detail. The only thing I might consider is a crop from the top to square. I like the sky in the bg but I think the flora deserves more attention. Outstanding photography as posted.

Excellent image. Fabulous detail, and a good comp. I agree with Pat regarding cropping some of the sky, maybe to about 4 x 5.

Very nice details & excellent DOW. IMO you should try square format, or at least allow more space at the right side. Well done Cristiano. :smile:

Cristiano: Fantastic POV and the sky is a great BG. I do agree with the others regarding a crop to square or perhaps 6:7. Bravo! >=))>

Very nice viewpoint with great details. I think I'd like to see a bit more room on the RHS. I don't mind the space at the top...I think it helps focus on the flowers and reminds the viewer that you're looking up.

Christiano, I cast another vote for the crop. This is wonderfully taken and shown in my opinion. Real nice.
