I like it, it's a realistic twist on what we usually view of flowers!. The lines are sharp in some areas but it makes it looks dramatic, especially with the light on the tips! It pulls it all together!. It's deep, but the darkness quality is not sinister, my first thought was the night sky/galaxy!. I love it!. I think what you think might look bad is the center part of the flower with the pistol and stamins!. If it's possible you could brighten that a bit, give it a warmer yellow/gold color, but not too bright or else it will look fake!. I personally really like it, I didn't realize it was tinted until i saw the original!. I don't believe it's harsh but it has a sharp crisp deepness that makes it look unique and from a different perspective!.

amazing :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Personally, I find it absolutely!.!.!.beautiful!. I think the sharpness is just right!. I really like dark, gloomy pictures!. I always have!. Anyway, it doesn't look fake at all!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Oh!. That's perfect!. In fact, I would suggest entering it into a contest!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It looks like the flower is going to suck me up!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I like it! I think the darkeness adds an interesting effect and makes the purple stick out from the green! It doesn't look fake at all!. I think if a water effect was added to it, it would have a storm effect and make it appear there's a strom b/c of the darkness in this picture!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think the angle is stunning, but it looks a bit over-exposed to me!. Perhaps playing with the brightness/contrast in a photo manipulation program could alter it!. The flower looks like a very deep shade of purple, and if you could find a way to make it pop, it could add more interest!. Otherwise, I think it is a beautiful photo! :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Perfect what sort of flower is it !?!.!.!.!.!.!.!.ps I agree with whoever said raindrops would make it perfect!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Concept is good, I would prefer a different crop!. Either tighter or much looser!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's very interesting, but the darkness causes part of the flower to seem missing!. I think you should do it again using HDR (high dynamic range) and see how it comes out!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

nice one!.!.!. maybe some additional work on the dof would help a bit!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I thnk it's beautiful, perfect the way it is!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
