i do agree with some of the other comments that some editing in photoshop would take this photo to the next level, but you have a great starting point! very nice work

really? this is a photo? it looks like a painting to me o.O the colors are so simple and contrasted-- the blacks are so black, and the texture of the petals and leaves look as if they were colored in. how did you achieve such an effect in a photograph?

wow it looks much better now! I think the picture is now much more interesting.
I like to see the flower with the center all in black. It makes the photo work better and makes the flower to stand out even more. I also think you did some editing in the colours of the picture, the flower seams to have more vibrant colors which is great :) And you did a great editing, everything looks very natural.
I'm glad you improved this photo! And thank you for warming me about this new version of the photo.
This goes to my favs!

The colours are beautiful, but some processing could pull the more vibrant tones out (the violets and yellow of the centre). Either way, lovely shot.

I always enjoy seeing this kind of photo's that makes us think what is in the photo.
What I like most in this picture are the black shadows in the flower petals and the black background on the top. I wonder how you did that because it's really good and makes the purple petals stand out and create different perceptions of this photo. Perhaps in Photoshop I would edit the photo and cover with black that greenish thing that is in the center of the flower, that imo looks a bit odd in the picture.

  thanks so much for the critique! I think I may just take your advice and photoshop it because the flower's center does through the photo off a bit. Thanks again!
