These look similar to the kind of flowers I posted a couple weeks ago...some type of Kalanchoe...was it a succulent? I can testify, it's hard to get the lighting right on these as there are so many tiny buds to block the light with! You did a great job with the DOF and the way you arranged them in the frame! I do wish there was a tiny more room at the bottom.

Balan: I really like the lighting here and your DOF management. My only compositional comment would be slight camera rotation to the right to include the entire lower flower bunch if that is the entire group. If there were more in that particular bunch then I think your crop works OK. Well seen and captured. >=))>

This is nice. I don't have a clue to the identity though. I think this would be better balanced just by cloning out the lower bunch.

This is a fine look at a really fascinating flower with interesting lighting. I find the cluster in the lrc distracting and wonder about burning it in or cloning it out.

Balan:

An interesting flower and nice lighting. I might consider making the lowest bunch disappear for a 'cleaner' look.
