Love the vibrant colours.  What kind of plant/flower is that?

Beautiful colors and subject. But I think you need to work on composition on those. I feel like your eye doesn’t know there to go. Look at the first photo for example. Viewer is torn between the flowers in the middle and the flower on the edge. You could try to crop the flower on the edge off and place the flower in the middle in the rule of third. Let see if it will work better.

You are so right, composition is for me the hardest, I am well aware of that, thanks for the good advice! I can use every bt of it :)

Allthough it’s groing in my garden I must admit that I don’t know the name of this plant…

Thanks Ron! And by the way, I’ve seen some of your pictures… works of an artist! I’m really impressed!

I still have the addiction to put everything in the center, but this time I tried to apply the rule of thirds. What do you think?

I know the rule of thirds works both vertically and horizontally in pictures, but IMO, I’d probably crop off some of the bottom of this picture.

Maybe just those peaces of leaves… could be interesting…

I agree on those leaves at the bottom. They are a bit disturbing. I have an idea, Ronald. If you don’t mind, can others use you first photo and try to crop it? It will be interesting to see what everybody will come up with.

Great idea Oksana, that’s no problem at all!

OK, here’s mine then.  I had done it yesterday, but didn’t want to post without permission.
Pretty much as yours, Michael, but I left all of the leaf in and brightened things up a bit.

Hey guys, this is nice! I see that both of you brightened up the image a little which seames to work out nicely! It´s hard to choose between these two… but without doubt it got better with the leaves on the bottom cropped out. It´s great to learn from the more experienced people here, thanks!

That’s a totally different perspective, I never even thought about turning it around… Thanks for this eyeopener!
