This is such a lovely color and flower. The close up creates such a poetic view of the lavender pink petals and center. It's mininlmalistic and perfect for a cozy spot on a wall. Beautiful work.

Nice looking flower. Good detail. The flower against the black is a good idea. Did you meter for just the flower and let the background go dark?

    Thanks so much, you are so kind. If I am understanding your question, the flower was actually against a wooden fence. After brightening the whole picture, I selected the fence, increased the contrast to the max, darkened it to the max then WALLA! LOL

This is a beautiful Echinacea flower, pink petals and an orange center. I would say that this is a beautifully presented flower, isolated, but it stands tall and is easily recognizable. Thank yo for sharing this aand good luck in the flower contest. Ray

A very beautiful photograph of this flower in full bloom. Focus and clarity are excellent, and the black background shows the color and shape very well. Good luck in the contest.

This is a lovely cone flower , you have photographed it well with good focus on the pink petals and the rust colored center.
Exposure is well managed, the colors and tones appear natural.
The flower is standing out so well from the black background . This is another favorite of mine and I plan to get some for my yard!
Well composed and presented! Best wishes to you in this contest!

This is a great photo. I don't know what the flower is, but who cares, you've captured it well.
I love the black background, which really makes the colours stand out.
Beautifully focused with a great depth of field.
I'm wondering though if it might be even better if you cropped some of the background out, especially at the top, which I feel would give it even more umph - but that's just my opinion.
Good luck in the contest.

    Thank you very much. Thanks so much for being nice with your opinion, as some aren't. I completely see your point, and thanks for pointing it out.

    You?re welcome. I?m very sorry to hear that some people aren?t nice when commenting, it so unnecessary! If they don?t like something, they could just skip it or even better, offer constructive criticism to enable the artist to understand and improve.

Beautiful image you have posted here. The simplicity of it is very serene and peaceful. The vibrant colour of the petals and stem make it stand out against the uninterrupted dark background. Thanks for sharing

A beautiful picture of the pink Cone flower set against a black background from which it stands out in sharp contrast. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus. Good luck in the contest.

there are four actions; not so minor;
when you post a flower in a flower contest it is obvious that you indicate the name of this flower, not just "a flower";

    I see your point, but to my knowledge it?s not required that I learn every detail of the flowers I shoot. Reviews are for specifics on the actual photograph itself which you gave zero interest in. I do see your point though, but next time when you give me a 4.5, let it be something with the photo itself please. There is nothing in the guidelines that say I have to know specific flower names. That?s your opinion, not FAR?s.
