Prima Ballerina –

Nice imagination you got there MM

that's a really interesting flower moinx2. I think the angle is interesting. There seems to be some distractions (brighter elements) in the background that could likely be eliminated with some burning in. That might make the flower pop harder. Hope that helps - Marko

I like the idea here; great subject. I think however, I would like to see the right side of the seed bulb just a bit brighter so that it stands out from the background a little more.

And now, my beauties, something with poison in it. Poppies...Poppies. Poppies will put them to sleep. Sleep. Now they'll sleep!

I love the shallow DOF, but as TI suggests the seed pod could stand just a bit of brightening on the right. Perhaps the entire flower could benefit from some?

Well - Friday is my day off from work. I know now how to use the time and I'll try your tips! But there is no chance for a new shoot before next summer ;-) - poppy-time is long over. They are asleep by themself ;-).
