HI Janice,

THis is a stunning gerbera, I have not seen this one before.

Simple yet effective, I have no issue with this flower being centred in this composition as it certainly doesn't diminish the beauty that comes from it. Informative note too. Well done and tfs.

Best wishes,
Martyn

Hello Janice,

I'm not so sure about always sticking to rules, sometimes instict works better. When the flower is facing and the format is square, this seems like the perfect position.
The colour and textural details are sharp and enjoyable. I like how the dof isolates it nicely.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Lovely sharp photo, I don't think there is anything wrong with placing the gerbera in the centre of the photo in this case. The colour of the petals interests me I have never seen a gerbera like this or have you changed the colour PP?

These flowers, the Gerbera are not that special for me, cause I worked with them for a couple of years and my father brought them home every day. So we were all of our days surrouded by all kinds of gerbera's. They became a piece of inventory.:)
But somethimes...like now.. it grabs my attention! Well done, Janice!

Hello Janice.
Notting wrong with...It fitts perfect, right ?
Yes, Gerbera's are beautiful coloured flowers.
In this case, a bit clone work would helped to remove the little things on it.

Hi Janice,
You show here why the "rule" never put the main object in the centre isn't applicable :-) Excellent centrilized image, in fact it has a perfect circle symmetry. Superb striking colours and exxcellent sharp. A fine posting my dear!

Have no comment to make about the central positioning of the Fleur but like you say it has wrinkled petals,I like the fact that you shot it like it is, that's nature, good call.

Rules are meant to be broken when the subject is so charming and shot is so sharp,focused and detailed and such vivid colors.I love it
