I am really having a hard time with composing my flower images. If anyone can offer some tips, I'd really appreciate it!

I think you did a fabulous job with this one, Teri--I really like it! I love how the stem angles upward, the center positioning of the flower, the vertical frame. Perfect for this gorgeous iris! #777009Teri Soares November 02, 2007
Thank you, Colleen. I think I picked one of the hardest flowers to practice on! These guys have so many weird angles that my macro shots just didn't work because of distracting elements. I'm still working on it though.I really appreciate your encouraging comments! #5019785
