Dan -
well it looks perfectly fine to me technical perfection can be overrated
.... I disagree wth Jack - the only thing I find at all distracting is
that tiny little
light dot on the leaf that is in the black background.
I think the black background area is a plus, not a minus
but of course, since it got in the Pentax gallery.... leave it the
hell alone Id say :-)
btw what is happening, or has happened with your diner series?

Thanks, Jack. Your suggestions are very helpful, and I shall play
around with it a bit.
I tried several angles on this plant, but this was the best. Some
showed blue int eh background, from the water features of the
greenhouse, and that was more distracting. Some angles showed a bit
of wilt in a flower or leaf, and some did not seem as "balanced" to my
eye as this shot.
Because I like the flower so much, I submitted it to the Pentax
Gallery, even though I recognized it was not technically all that
good. To my surprise, it was accepted into the gallery, bringing my
little portfolio there up to 45 images. I am always surprised at what
makes it into the gallery -- and what doesn't. Many of my favorite
shots have been rejected.

Beautiful blossoms! Unfortunately, that black background area is very
distracting, the pedals peeking in on the left edge should be cloned out and
the fuchsia color in the upper left corner eliminated. The black background
area would be a tough edit, but the image is worthy of a significant effort.
