Open for life... Sunsine and dew - almost all they need :-)

I'm going to write my own critique on this photo :-) First of all - I like there are just two colors - green and red. I like the green is so dark and disappears almost in black. I like different tones on the flower and drops of water on it. I like also the flower looks 'lonely' in the space around it. What I don't like - the point of view, it could be better to avoid petals to become one 'mass'. The flower itself is not the best 'model' too. Another remark - the DOF is too shallow I think. I have to be careful with this lens and use higher value of F-stop.

I regret I had no time to experiment with composition. The situation didn't make me feel comfortable and I was in a hurry because of sun coming down. But anyway - I think it's worthy to share it with you.

In postprocessing - used curves to increased contrast and make it more impressive. This photo looks very fine in B&W (if you use channel mixer to change it into B&W) but I thought you would prefer it in color.

All the best

Piotr
