Default A touch of her tiny feet

One of the most liked picture in FB that I took and cherish. But I want an expert critique on it so that I can know how to make it the best and how can I click better pictures.



As per the suggestion from John I have removed the selective colors and put just b/w. Please let me know how is composition, concept, color tones and anything that you think I can do on this to make it perfect or none

Thanks in advance for taking time to check this picture.

Hi, personally I think it would make for a much more powerful image if it was all black and white. For me the coloured petal become the focus and not the two pairs of feet. Adding a vignette may also help to draw the eye into the centre of the picture

Thanks John, I guess you are abs'ltly right. Originally I posted this picture as complete b/w and people loved it. I guess I should do the same here. I have edited the post and add the b/w picture. Please let me know guys how it faired!

Thanks, I got it now that we should always try to focus and highlight the main subject and not confuse the viewer.

Justin, Oh waow.. feels so proud to hear "no critique needed" - Thanks! But I am always unsure about the lighting - if the image is properly exposed or not?
