Composition help

[cookincanuck]

Hi everyone,

I would appreciate some feedback on composition in this shot. I was trying to decide if the focused flower should sit towards the bottom of the photo or in the middle, as opposed to the middle-ground spot it sits in now. Any other feedback is welcome, too.

Hi! First of all, your photo seems to be private on your flickr page, so nobody will be able to view a larger image.
I like the composition how it is now. The vertical alignment of the flowers draws the eye throughout the entire photo and I think a central focus might limit the way the eye is drawn. Also I'm curious--what is that small blue-purplish thing bellow your main flower? It's an interesting addition to the image.

It makes my eyes want to dance from the flower in front to the flower in back - I like it the way it is...

I think if you moved the camera juuuust a little bit to the right and got the rightmost flower in the frame completely that it would work better. The bud at the bottom is a little bit distracting.

I think the colors look a little bit dull, or maybe just a bit blue. Could try playing with the white balance setting.

Otherwise it looks good to me!
