What aperture? f/4?

Beautiful but too centered, imo. Some of the darkness in the lower viewer's left could be accentuated to contrast the light and softness. An underworld, so to speak. That reminds me of a poem I'll try to find.l

Honestly I don't recall. It was taken with a Canon PowerShot A640 for what it's worth. I did some post-processing to enhance the image.

Nice!

Increase saturation [on flowers], it's looking a bit pale. 'Burn' the edges a bit for a really nice post-processed look. Make the flowers pop by tweaking the levels slider.

Where is that, on the stem? I didn't notice it when I was taking the picture.

They are nice shots... but not nearly as nice as they could be if you used had a real lens.

Nope. Nope. Hint: It was taken at a beach. (It was fairly deserted that day because the weather was less than perfect. Though as we were leaving, a model photo shoot was apparently being set up, beach ball and all....)
