[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I was in the city of Tirupati (India) visiting a temple which is very well known in India. After a long day of walking, standing in the queues and waiting with my granddad and my mum, we were really tired and were resting every few meters on my way to the hotel.
I took this one during one of those rest stops, I guess my legs were tired but my eyes and hands would not give up on that camera of mine. I took another one called 'yellow flower' on the same day which I've posted in my TE account, I think I'll post it here soon.
These two pictures were truly inspiring for me, they made me see photography as an art.
Some hard critiques please.

Beautiful red colors, and very nice photograph.

The contrast between the delicate and colourful flower and the rought bland colouring of the ground makes this an interesting photo. The textures, both in the flower and the ground are also very good.

I see no reason for a hard critique on this excellent contrast of the softness and delicate flower against the harsh and rough rocks in the back ground. The color of the flower stands out nicely with the dark BG. I see this composition as art, also.....:O)

Ravi, this photo has a strong element as you played with two textures... hard rock and soil with a soft flower with beautiful colours. You also placed the flower in a perfect position. Nice sharpness to it as well. Thanks

What a fabulous photo! The contrast is great and the focus too. Brilliant!

Hi, Ravi.
Fantastic shot! Contrast & sharpness are great.
It's just sad that the flower is not alive anymore...
