Re: Red Flower

Very nice colour and detail, but maybe a bit too tight on the crop?

LOL. Thanks for the comments but apart from a tiny bit from the right, that's how I took it.

Never. I like your comments. Keep them coming. If the picture is too close it's no problem for me, I just wanted to try something different.

Re: Red Flower

We just hate Geraniums, that's all

Seriously though, it's ok I guess. The tight cropping style is certainly common, and I'm tempted to use it for pot plants as it means you can hide the pot. The subject is a bit "big blob of red" though
