This is a very small Tulipa. Taken at near 1:1 ratio. I think that a red background would have helped. Your opinion?

Don't touch it, I like it that way

Hmmm - I like the bkgd the way it is but the background is not the problem.
My comment is (as it often is) about the focal point. What is the focal point?
Seems to me the focal point is the drops on the leaves since they are the only element in the shot that is sort of sharp. That said I have to wonder why you included so much tulip.
The way it is now, for me the shot is too busy and has too much tulip. Cropping the stalk going out of the frame on the left about 2.5 inches (all the way to the blurred larger leaf at left middle) might help.
Hope that helps

Hi Sprinter. I agree with Marko. I like the magnification of the skin texture under the drop. Perhaps that could be a focal point.
cheers
Each time it's hard and refreshing that you are so honest and willing to help. Thanks for your comments.
I still have trouble to understand when I have to expand the sharpness areas, by reducing aperture, and reduce it in order to minimize dof.
With your help, I guess I will be able to grasp it. Maybe a good podcast sujbect?
On white widow, I had he impression that my dof was too large.
I then did this one. (included) I had some success on flickr with it. However was it right? yours to comment.
Thanks for your sincere contribution. Altough at time difficult, I know these are honest and I will eventually learn from these.
Thanks

I really think that second shot is neat!

I promise that you will. I've already been down that road, and continue down it, as karate has taught me, it's not the destination but the path that matters. There is also a balance. Remember, photography is YOUR art. Marko is wonderful at pointing out the technical flaws but its your voice that needs to be heard. Work on the technical issues and your message will come through.
(Sheesh, that sounded kinda mushy)
Oh, and by the way, I love the second shot. It very obviously has a focal point of the flower, however, it is rather interesting the way only certain parts of it peek into focus.![]()
