It’s been several decades since I’ve opened my photography up for critique. I was a photography major back in the day and gave it up as a professional track so i could feed and house myself. I now really only share my photos with three friends. But there isn’t much in the way of actionable feedback - I’d love to hear your thoughts.

This photo was taken on a piece of white paper under a skylight on a cloudy day with my iPhone. I made a few small edits to bring the reds out (such a hard color to get right in digital photography).

    Personally, I’m not too great at artistic shots like this. That being said - this is a great photo. It’s refreshing to me and I think that comes with the cleanliness of the background and the harsh flash-like lighting that you’ve got going on. The detail of all the little florets is striking and I really appreciate that the light was harsh enough to illuminate almost all of the shadows in that area of the photo.

    One suggestion I can offer is that my eyes keep wanting to look at the petals that are out of focus. Which I suppose is intentional. But it kind of follows a golden ratio line and that could be why! Just some food for thought but you clearly know what you’re doing!
