Elby, As I've said elsewhere, I don't normally comment on pictures of flowers, but this one goes beyond the kind of thing you find in seed catalogs. The picture says something more than, "Isn't this a nice flower?" I don't agree that the bloom at the back of the shot should be "turned" to face the front. As it is, the bloom turned away, or partially away, gives a feeling of depth. The only criticism I have is this: Is there more of the wall to the left? If so, I'd try a shot with the camera moved a bit to the left. That would place the flowers in the center of the frame and eliminate the fact that there's a balancing graphic element missing from the upper right. In this particular picture with its static square framing there's nothing wrong with centering the flowers. On the other hand, I'm quite taken with the shot just the way it is. If I saw a version shot the way I suggested, I might still prefer the first image.
