i always thought that flower photography is kinda boring but this is different..
some how it reminds me of a human face..
maybe its the tight composition or the folded leaf..
i love it.

If I had money I would buy this. No shit. Too bad I don't *frowns*.
Anyway, I think this could use a touch more light and contrast. Not too much, mind you, just a little. However, the single bent petal is amazing. I don't think I've ever seen a similar flower picture. Congradulations for suprising me, one in such adoration of flower shots I had thought I'd seen them all (oh the pretention!). This is simply one of the best flower shots I've ever seen. My training in photography would tell me to take the picture with a differnt composition but as I study the piece I don't think a differnt composition would have worked at all on this piece. Really, I have no complaint about this shot other than that mentioned above. I think you should definately continue your nature photography, as you bring a new, altogether beautiful face to the genre. Thank you for submitting this piece.

That's a very cool sight to see in nature and the waterdrops all of the flower are tremendous. The only thing I'm not seeing here are the bright whites. The whole flower doesn't have to be bright white, because I know your going for a sort of melancholy look, but if the highlights on some of the raindrops are bright white then it helps your shot keep away from underexposure.

This is a really nice picture, but I'd bump the contrast up a little bit. I know you did say earlier that you kept it that way to maintain the sadness but just a small bit would help also maybe turning the background bw. Anywho great job capturing this.

youve captured such a great scene. just this slight change to a standard flower shot really turns the image and its meaning completely upside down. really nice work.

uhm somehow its sad ....
advanced critique: technically well done, the white could be a bit more whiter or more powerful ... *for my taste*

If it was more white it would loose some of that sadness I like in this photo...

I like it too! it's funny how such a simple change as a folded petal can make the image much more interesting.

Wow!
As GrandpaEl said.. It looks kind of sad and lonely. But I see it as more apathetic when it comes to the folded petal, like it doesn't care.. Alone in the rain.. I can almost see it cry. You're work keeps being awesome!
