Thanks to Bob, Brian, and Rich for the thoughtful and helpful reviews.
They are appreciated.
A little help for Bob's dilemma. Yes, I believe this picture can
definitely be improved upon. In what direction?....guess that is a
matter of opinion.(G)
The image that came out of the camera was much larger than the one
submitted. I rooted around for some time looking for for a pleasant
arrangement of the petals (reminded me of cloud formations) and which
partially contained the flower's innards as background information. The
final image was about one fifth of the total area. The flower was in
partial shade which contributed to the partial burn-out. I liked the
effect.
I realize that I know very little about photographic composition. I
look for a pleasing (to me) image on the camera's LCD screen and again
in the editor program.
Thanks.
Fletcher
