75 Aug 23 Reply Thank you Murphy. I am not clear on what differentiates a flower portrait from a simple flower image. If you have time could you elaborate.

From Google they say a flower portrait capture the mood and essence of a flower. To me that is a little esoteric, but that may just show my ignorance in the art of flower photography. 		Aug 5th
75 Aug 23 Comment Very nice composition and great dof. I would darken the background highlights as they distract from the subject. Depending on your goal for the image this also might work as a black and white. Aug 5th
75 Aug 23 Comment Nicely done Judy especially handheld. I might slightly lighten the center disc florets to further differentiate them from the outer rays. Nice colors and exposure. Aug 5th
75 Aug 23 Comment Very nice 16x9 type format Murphy. I like that you kept the foreground foliage at a similar exposure as the flowers. Is this a native colony or planted? Nice density Aug 5th
75 Aug 23 Comment I too really like the portrait format for this image. I believe this is in the Rosaceae family perhaps a crab apple? You can see the seasonal growth scar under the flower cluster which would indicate it is a flowering/fruiting woody perennial. Nice exposure and I think the solid blue sky is complimentary to the warmer subject. Aug 5th

90 Aug 23 Comment Spectacular capture. My only suggestion is to darken the background highlights and maybe add a vignette to further dramatize this spectacular species. Aug 5th
90 Aug 23 Comment Ginny, I hope to capture an image of this species sometime and envy your good eye in seeing the owl. With that said, it took me a few moments to actually see the subject, so I would attempt to lighten its eyes and see if you can differentiate the subject from the background. I would crop out the light area on the left as well. Very good observational skills in seeing this guy. Aug 5th
