Cactus flower

Critique Style Requested: Standard

The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.

Description

I was using my macro lens and looking for a composition that included the edge of a cactus flower and thorns. I wanted to keep the aspect ratio at 2X3.

The blue area here was bluish gray in the original. I moved it towards blue when I processed the shot. I rotated the image and found that several orientations worked.

Technical Details

ISO 100, 100 mm, f/14, .4 sec.

Don, I like the red and blue color contrast in your image. Good idea pushing the bluish gray towards blue. I could see this cropped 1:1 up above the half way line to push this towards abstract a bit more.

Thanks for the feedback, Alfredo.
