I like it Loukie Great stopping down for dof coverage, good faming but would suggest a little more room up top. Another new one for me !!! Excellent !!!

[John Cooper]

An unusual looking but very attractive flower Loukie!!
The beautiful patterns have been captured well with the F32 - agree with Al re a little more space at top, but still a flower image with lots of impact!!!

Wowie! What a cool plant!

[Mike Moats]

Hey Loukie, really cool plant, and well done on the shot, just needs a little more on the top. Good details and cool BG.

Such a beautiful looking flower. Never seen such a beauty before. Done well to have kept the whole flower in DOF. I was also thinking as to how a vertical crop would look (showing a little more of the cactus + some space on top-left).

[Jonathan Michael Ashton]

Very nice shot, I'm not too sure if the empty space on the left adds to the shot. The flash has releceted a little but nevertheless a great image

Another interesting image Loukie, the patterns, details and shapes are great. They succulents you have almost look other worldy, almost alien.

Agree with more room needed at the top and maybe a vertical crop...
