I tried to make this photo better (already -posted the edited). My lack of knowledge probably ruins more photos than you could imagine. I take about 10 a day, anyway here is the original.

Hi,
I see a robot with multi-arms. I like the colour.

Yoyo, if i had your imagination, eye, and location, I would be a rich man! When I grow up, I want to be just like you :).

First glance i thought it was a heavily disguised insect eating plant or creature ! Great angle for this shot and i too love the colour.

I'm kind of torn, they are beautiful flowers, but I find there is too much DOF,I think it would have been much better if you could have blurred the B/Ground, or maybe moved in on one particular cluster.

Hey dont put yourself down in any way when you take a picture and it does not quite turn out the way you expected. I have thousands of those as im sure most photographer`s do hehe. Its all in the eye of the beholder here .
If you think theres a little something missing in your photo taking im sure theres someone here thats willing to help out .
Dont forget critique may be the best tool you have , browse this forum and you will C some of the best photos around , but dont forget the best here were not always were they are today.. :) Now back to your photo , for me you could realy go in close to the center 5 blooms and try a crop from there with a bit of blur around the unwanted , yup think its worth a try.


Here i tried this for you. This is a little CS2 work nothing great but a start, theres probably 10 other ways to crop this . Maybe someone else could pitch in here :)
