Critique Style Requested: Standard
The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
This is the actual flower at the center of a Hydrangea “blossom” before opening. Very small.
All comments welcome!
Not much done in LR; a stack in Zerene. Then into PS for denoise, crop and a little debris cleanup.
Use of the template is optional, but it can help spark ideas.

Diane: I love the pastel color palette and the fine details in the center. Another frame filling winner. >=))>
Diane, my immediate first look impression, was a cute white poodle’s head and face. A truly gorgeous floral image…
Another very good image of this flower, Diane. I could see a study of the sepals(?) and the way they overlap one another, which creates some really interesting patterns as well.
Thanks, @Bill_Fach , @Paul_Breitkreuz and @Dennis_Plank ! I just saw that I put this in Flora when I meant to put it in Macro. I’m not sure I know how to move it – can someone? Thanks!
Done. As a moderator, you should see a huge pencil icon at the end of the title. Click on that and you can edit everything, including the forum.
Thanks, @Dennis_Plank – I wondered if that was a magic button but was afraid to mess with it. Noted for the next time I might need it!
I see the poodle face too! Another nice shot, Diane.
Thanks, @Shirley_Freeman ! Somewhere I have portraits of a friend’s miniature white poodle – maybe I can dig them up and do a composite…
