ButterflyBlue Pincushion

Hi Allen. Welcome to NPN! The color of this flower really shows up beautifully against the black background. I like your focus on the center of the flower but I would wish the flower would be angled so more of the center was visible and less of the out of focus petals in the front. Just a tad more space at the bottom of the flower would also be helpful so the lowest petal has some breathing room. The hint of purple in the top left corner adds an interesting element.

This is a somewhat slow time with people posting comments but keep posting! It's a great place to learn.

Thank you Carolyn. Thank you for your comments and advice, I see what you mean. I'll keep your tips in mind! Very helpful.

Hello again Allen,

I agree with Carolyn's remarks. I like the distance from flower and it's vibrance. Clearer focus on nearer pedals would have enhanced it.

Thank you Spencer- I see what you mean. My focus was to be the center of the flower- but it would be better enhanced if the petals were in focus.
