A lovely flower Kostas and well worth the 3$.

I like the nice soft delicate feel to both the detail and colours.

I do wonder what a bit more stem would look like. I am not sure if it would be an improvement of not.

The shadows don't bother me and it will be interesting to see if others comment on them.

Good for you.

Hey Kostas,
A very nice flower indeed! I do think the flash was a touch strong.....perhaps dialing it down a bit or using more ambient light by going to 1/100 sec......and perhaps upping the ISO a touch. Just some things to keep in mind for your next purchase.

Hi Kostas. An interesting looking flower and it stands out nicely from the black background. I like the DOF with the petals a little soft. Roman has a good suggestion for you to consider. :)

Hi Kostas, this is a nice looking flower and the black BG really makes it stand out....it's hard to beat that orange & black combination! Roman already covered the flash so I'll add that you might have tried a shot or 2 at f22...the top of the flower looks a bit soft so a little more DOF might have helped that.
