Critique Flower test

Graham · 20 Feb 2015

Hi all, I actually got to go out yesterday what seems like an age of not going out, anyhow, this photo of a flower, sorry can't remember the name, has been cleaned up and cropped a bit, I use GIMP, does it look sharp enough? Any other crit is welcome.

Just looking at this shot again and the green streak is distracting, think I'll have a play this w/e with this and remove it.

Nice stuff . Did not spot the streak till you mentioned it.

Lovely. Looks a bit like an osteospermum to me.

Nor me, but it's a nice photo, a bit of spring cheer, like the Flikr one as well

good enough to eat Graham, unusual and different and a shot that you need to look at more than once or twice to appreciate

Morning Graham, damp and misty here,

Just that I have eaten a few "flowers" in the past month or so - and cooking is getting more creative

Has it a name Graham?
