Beautiful flower, beautiful color. I wish the yellow flower was a bit sharper so it would stand out a bit more.

It's a nice shot! The date can be removed with the help of Photoshop or something similar. The flower itself could be a little sharper. Perhaps a slightly tighter crop might make the flower stand out even more.

Not bad, but it would be improved with a tighter shot and more sharpening.

I think the date is automatically superimposed on your pictures when you transfer them directly from camera to computer, instead of using a card reader. I could be wrong, though.

Hi. As KagoGrl suggested, the date can be removed via software but probably the best bet here is to remove it by closer cropping.

This composition looks much better. It looks, however, to have been a little oversharpened. Still a beautiful flower though.

Thank you guys...

Do you think the black part in the background is a little distracting??
