Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.
Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.
Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.
Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Was at home on a nice spring day the other day and on a whim decided to head out into the backyard with the macro (Nikon 105 VR) and look for some flowers to shoot handheld. The lavender was an obvious find although it was hard to find a composition I liked, the sun was low with late afternoon sun so I tried some from in front and behind without much success...  What I did find however were these gorgeous enormous red flowers (lilies?) on long (not very stable) stems - crazy that I hadn't seen them in the back yard before - we had four of them and this was the best of them. Lest you think me mad I purposely shot this one in essentially full late afternoon sun because I liked the way it dropped to shadow (the background, on the petals and even the stamens) - hope you like it too?

Those top lavender leaves are a beautiful colour, but I agree with you about the composition.
The second flower (I don't know what it is either!) has moodier lighting and the shadow of the stamens being projected onto the leaf.
I like it better.
