To say I like it would be an under statement. This is beautiful, love the color and the soft tonal range. I am a big fan of the tight crop and you have pulled it off wonderfully. Very nice job.
Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??
Nikon Samurai #13
"A photographer is known by what he shows not by what he throws. The best photographers have the biggest trash cans." Quote from Nikon School sometime in the early 1970's.
As mentioned above, the variation in light makes this shot great. My only nitpick is that the petals above the center of the flower are muddled compared to the sharp definition in those just below the center.
Chunk, to answer to your question, I haven't tried any off center shot. Actually, I shot arround 12 frames but only this one had a lighting I liked. Actually, I could always crop this one differently....
I wouldn't want to lose any part of this - I think it's the different light in each quadrant that makes the shot for me. Iwouldn't mind it if you could add some in a couple directions though. Nice dilema to have - your shot's just too damned good - it can't be saved. (just kiddin' you know...)
