Uh, Your third photo isn't coming up.. and there's a frozen ant on your fourth!

From the first two, I prefer the second shot.. It looks neater, and the square crop definately suits it. The reflection in the first is distracting from the actual flower.

Fixed the third shot. & I know about the bug. Sadly it must have been on the flower and when I pulled it out of the freezer it was frozen there.

Some questions to ponder for yourself ... if you wish to consider them.

May I ask why you chose to group the elements (ice, flower) of the 3rd image to the far left? Does this produce balance or imbalance? Do the elements compete or compliment each other? And what of the element of void in the rest of the image? What is its impact on the balance of the image?

I thought the angle was interesting. I still think so. The blackness well that unavoidable for that particular shot & it docent bother me at all. I really could care less if it makes people think the image is unbalanced. :rolleyes:

I was offering feedback ... #3 is not a bad image but it has some interesting graphic content that I was exploring out loud ... next time I won't if it makes you uncomfortable.
