hmm no reply's what a shame...
so far for the warm welcome :s

Don't worry, the comments come sooner or later. :)
Was this in daylight? The ISO is unnessecarily high.. ISO800 gives quite strong noise, at least on your camera (and mine). You could have used a MUCH slower shutter speed and have used maybe ISO200 instead.
The shot itself is pretty nice but there are some disturbing stuff going on that keeps you from concentrating on the flower itself. :)

Haha, we are a bit slow on replying^^ Time diffenece and shit ya know;):P
But i think this is a very good picture:)
Although i think the other flower to the right is a bit too focused(if i have to pick on somethin^^
Anyways, very good job^^

i'm glad to here such comments so i can improve myself i just began with photography because i'm going to go to school to study photography and 3d media it's calle digital arts and entertainement

No problem, if you have any questions about photography just ask me and I'll help.

^^ ok thanks man i appreciate that

Agreed i wish it was taken at a lower ISO, it pretty noisy on the petals. Did u do any post processing besides the border? If so i think it would have been cool to maybe brighten up the middle part of the flower, ya know that curly part that's really dark. Cool DOF too, I always like when the BG is kinda blurred like that on closeups; Makes the focal more prominent.

nope just the border... and thanks for commenting my work!
