Description

Hello again everyone. This is just something simple to mark my step of moving to New Zealand. Just like this flower I want to believe that since uprooting and replanting myself on another land will eventually lead to re-blooming :)
Cheers to all of us who have decided to take up something we haven't done before or moved to another place or just realized that you need to rediscover yourself!
About the photo, I was lucky enough to have good lighting yesterday but the wind was blowing really hard....took a while for me to be able to get a decent shot...hope you like it.

As always, thanks for viewing, voting...and C&C is truly appreciated.

Location: Tauranga, New Zealand
Camera: Olympus Mju 710
Software: Photo Editor/PhotoFiltre

nice to see you again!
good composition and subject, however i think it could use an increase in contrast.

Excellent composition!....Beautiful elegant shapes!
Beautiful flowers!......good eye!
There are some faint small uneven spots on the black background that you may want to heal (probably only visible on a bright screen).
And a little work with levels to increase the high zones can help.
Very good work Maridol!
Glad to see another one from you!

Thanks for all your comments :)
I'll check the background again for those mentioned uneven spots, contrast and levels. Thanks for pointing that out since it looks fine on my monitor.

Good composition and DOF. Could be a bit sharper, but no complains. :)

Nice composition and a good theme!! I agree with Carlos about adjusting levels.
Good to see you post something new Maridol. Say hi to Ian!!

Agree with much of what has been said above although I suspect an increase in contrast may result in a loss of petal detail as subtle shadows are swamped by more instense shades of yellow. Am enjoying seeing you bloom here in NZ, Maridol, guess that makes me the fertilizer! ;) *chuckle*
Hi to Gary and everyone else!

Finally a new artwork from you!

It's a very elegant picture with a nice composition.
I think it would benefit if you would nudge the saturation level and contrast just a bit up (mirrorring Carlos comment).

Good focus and solid piece all around
