I tried this in B&W in the critique forums but it didn't do so well. Here is a color version.

Hi, Greg.

I haven't seen the B&W version and I don't know if you're looking for a critique here on this color one but I'll give it

Obviously shot in heavy shadow which reduces your available shutter speed and DOF. The color temperature is also affected producing an almost cold feeling (which may or may not have been what you were after).

There seems to be a bit of camera motion blur as well as the focus being slightly off (towards the front). The result is an image which feels "off" IMO. The leaf coming in from the left is distracting too.

Tough to do with large flowers. I tend to go in tight and slightly abstract for large stuff like this (or find really tiny stuff).

Thanks for posting of here :thumbsup:

Loupey, I have a extension tube coming for my Olympus. I have never been real good at flowers but hope to change that. Thanks for the critique.
