Smashing lighting and colours, Monika! The blurry foreground adds depth to the pic but I would crop a little bit off it anyway, so it doesn't distract from the beautiful main flower! #123366Dolores Neilson May 26, 2019
Gorgeous, Miss Monika!! I love the bright oranges and yellows! Excellent dof ...going from blur in the foreground to sharpness of the flower!! Love the blur and sharpness! #123385Monika Sapek May 26, 2019

Thank you for your wonderful comment, Thomasa!Gary H. Minish July 11, 2003
Gorgeous, Monika! I love the backlighting and your close composition! The colors are bold and beautiful and your exposure is just right (keeping it very bright but still under control). The spider is a nice bonus also! I suspect this will go further. Good luck! #139839Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
