Flowers photos are common, it is hard to expect much originality, yet you pulled it off with your use of colors, focus, and saturation. The angle you used and your composition are magnificent. The rule of the thirds is implied, but not as obvious, the change of shade of the background and the stem of the flower seem to be in almost the perfect position. I do think it would add elegance to your image if it would have been a little more zoomed out and the flower would be a little more to the bottom left in respect to the whole size of the image. I do love the contrast of the bright green leaves with the emerald background, and the beautiful shadow play on the flowers. I find that diagonal branch further accentuates the depth in this photo. Maybe I would desaturate the leaves on the bottom left, but very slightly just to give them a more natural look. Other than that, to me this image is perfection. I absolutely love the atmosphere of the photo, it is elegant enough to depict a royal garden, yet natural enough to envision something more wild. I think the most impressive parts of this photo are your use of focus and the colors. The contrast of that top flower vs the background is to die for. I feel like in most images such sharpness vs blurriness would produce a "sticker" effect, yet your flower still looks natural and beautiful. Either way I am not a professional, this critic is from a mere viewer, I still hope it helps. Love your work!!!
