    Coreopsis

    Title says it all. I have many pictures of this flower, all from different angles, however these two are my favourite. I prefer the second one of the first however. Feedback greatly appreciated.

    I like the second one as well, due to the composition, the first one is too centered. Both are soft on the bottom left sides (like I am one to say anything). May need a slight boost in saturation, was it taken in low light?

    I see what you mean with the corners. Especially the upper and lower left. I tried sharpening them just now, but I have a tendancy to oversharpen until the point where it looks "grainy". I'm not sure what the lighting conditoins were, it was about a year ago.

    In terms of composition, the first is slightly better in my opinion. The leaves radiate outward from the center, which is okay in this instance. My one critique is that you need more light. It is too dark, and the colors are suffering. I think diffuse sunlight would be good. But that is just my take on it.

    I agree about the lack of light but I prefer the second one. A little original. Nice potential,
