Hi Sandy,
Really nice macro of this mum- one of my favorite flowers. Good natural color, really nice lighting and excellent details of the center. Nicely cropped and composed. TFS Julie

Hello Sandy,
I do love the petal curls of the featured mum. Glad to see that the flower core was off-centered. You metered the primary yellow color well. This brings back some memories. I remember a HS science project when I extracted chrysanthemic acid, an ingredient with insecticidal properties from these flowers. Well done.

its so fantastic and amazing just like flooding yellow color.very crispy and clear focus.the frame filled composition is doing excellent.tfs

Hi Sandy,
What a splendid super macro of the heart of this flower!
Good subtle lighting and a fabulous play with shadows.
Nice yellow tones and very sharp focusing with impeccable details, all leading into the nucleus of the flower.
A superb tight crop, neatly presented.
Best regards,

Francis Xavier

Beauty Sandy! Great close up ... love the side light, and the intense yellow, especially on the left .. but not too intense.
Great shot

Hello Sandy,

Excellent macro, sharp and wirh good details of colour, textures and shapes. Don't quite know why but the shot remiinds me of a pug (dog), squashy and incurved!
I think you have added interest by your tight crop.

Have a good day,
Bev :-)

Hello Sandy,a beautiful macro with great sharpness throughout.
I remember trying to paint a chrysanthemum just like this when I was at secondary school, it wasn't easy!
Good the way that you have filled the frame with the flower.
Tfs, regards Jean.

Great clarity of the golden yellow Chrysanthemum flower with great details! I like fulfilling the whole picture with this lovely flower, just amazing!
The sharpness and POV are superb and the colors are perfectly natural.

Very well thought!

best regards,
