Critique Style Requested: Standard

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

Description

When I read the title of this week challenge I got the urge to go back to the plant photo archive that I have not visited sinse about 8 or 9 years. I found an image that I hope fits this category . It is a bit old because I haven’t taken any photos of plant and flowers since then.

Technical Details

D2X, Nikkor 200mm macro - f/22, ISO 280, 1 sec

Very compelling! The lines of the grasses set the flower off perfectly.
Well-seen and captured!

The arching lines and green color of the grass leaves are an excellent foil for the shape and color of the bloom. Sure glad you dug into your archives to find this view and show us. The darkening of the deeper grass leaves adds a fine 3D look.

This is most excellent, especially the deep color contrast. A small detail: clone out the crooked little leaf blade just to the lower right of the flower?

This is excellent Guiseppe. I really like the strong contrasting colors in this that really make this a bold image. Nicely done and congratulations on the EP.
