I think if you are looking for comments on the photographs like the composition and all you need to move this to critique my shot section.And just mention what kind of comments you are looking for.
Thanks

Do I have to re-post it or is there a way to move it to the section you have suggested?

I've moved it (note also the size restriction).

Onto the photograph, do you think you could have got closer with your camera. At the moment you are near enough that the photo is obviously all about the flower but, if you want to put it right at the centre of the frame, it would be better to get closer still and start to pick up details that tend to escape the naked eye.

Thanks for the same. That is the closest I could get. Getting closer than this, was rendering it out of focus. And since it is hand held (No tripod used) may be I could have got it a fraction of a mm closer. Thanks anyway for the advise.

In that case, think about compositions which don't put the subject dead centre (oh... and turn off the date/time stamp; that information is embedded in the EXIF data and doesn't need to be marring the result).

I have now turned of that date\Time stamp in my camera. Is there a way to remove them from existing pictures. I shall definetly try your suggestion about a different composition. Thanks.
