Treat for the eyes

I am not sure whether this will be counted as a macro shot. I would like to have your critique on the composition. I have not done any PP except for cropping it. Would a tighter crop work better. For example would it be better to crop off the twig at the bottom so that only the flowers are highlighted. All comments including harsh ones are welcome. It will only help me get better.

Very Nice flower

I love the composition in this - it's balanced, plus if you cropped the lower part of the branch out, you would lose your tiny spider web.

Hello Tamara,

Thanks for your observations and comments. I did notice the web at the bottom and decided to leave it in. I only hope that it does not distract the viewer from the actual subject.

it kind of annoys me that the side of the leaf on the bottom of the branch is cropped a little, would be nice to see all of it or none of it in my opinion.

My 2 cents - I like the focus on the leaves ( and the color). Keeping the branch creates too much wasted space to the left and upper left, so I would try a tighter crop.
