Yes Sir... I have... I understand that getting a Critique for your work is getting feedback for it... and i think this forum is all about that...

What is asked of is that you ask something specific you want help with. Perhaps you are wondering about your composition, settings, processing, focus, angle or ???

Ajay, from a composition perspective, i do not see anything complete in this pic .. except for water droplets on the petals. if you didn't use the word lotus in title, i wouldn't have e to figured out what flower it was.

though i must say the colors n dof in image is top notch, if this is a crop could you please share the complete image please.

thanks for sharing.

I don't know what kind of post processing you are doing but right now the image looks a bit overexposed and I think a bit of tweaking in post could fix that. From a compositional standpoint, I love the textures involved; the silky smoothness of the petals and the sparkling drops of water, but I am troubled a bit with the way the composition appears to have been cut off in the wrong place. Shapes are an important compositional element and we need to be very careful in how we use them.
