At first glance, I though this was a watercolor painting and I really like that! The colors and focus gives this photograph such softness. Well, more the lack of focus, gives it a soft feeling. And I say that on a positive note. Sometimes a crisp focus doesn't portrait the motif the way you see it with your "inner eye". And here I totally love how the short dof gives it a slight fairy tale feel to it. IF that makes any sense at all e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="
I like how you have made it square, as that kind of crop really fits this photo.
On a negative note, I really think the background flowers are too visible and bright, they kind of distract you from the foreground "trio".
All and all, I really like this, and I would want it on canvas on my wall if I had money for that e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="

Hi Evelina!
Thank you sooo much for the attention you give to this image and for your words! I'm really glad to read them!
I know, it was said to me yet that the background is too visible (or to highlight the foreground) and I tried to make this, but everytime I like more the original, but maybe for my screen settings!
Thank you very much again!

This is a great shot , with great colors and would easily hang on somebody's wall. its soft and dreamy but yet sharp and mysterious.
you've managed to capture the light very well in this photograph, but still you've managed to get a lot of contrast which I like.
This photograph also shows a lot of technique going on , but still has minor flaws to it , with a little correction I would myself be happy to hang it on my wall.
For improvement of these minor flaws , I would be interested to se this picture with those to clear flowers more in focus , more outstanding , and not lost in the corner. the position of the flowers makes your eyes wander off , and you're not able to focus completely on the flowers themselves , as a tips I might want to crop it down , remember the canvas don't have to be in the same size as it came in from the camera , it can be more landscape/panorama like and even square.
I would suggest maybe cropping it down to just above the tallest flower , this will give it a great balance , and a magnificent impact , also I think it would be even nicer , if the shadows in the main flowers was a little brighter than the rest , just to make it pop.

Hi dear!
Thanks a lot for the critique!
As I told you yesterday, I've really appreciated your suggestion!
For which concerns the cropping, I've to say that I think that the composition is right as it is... I like the square format, and I think that it gives the dreaming sensation that I wanted!
For the brightness of the main flower, I've tried to make it more pop, and the result was really pleasant! I'll upload it later, and I'll let you see it!
Thanks again, Michelle!
