This shot was taken at the Baytown Nature Center about six weeks ago. To me it's one of those shots that have several identifiable flaws that I like anyway.
I like the soft light, the color combination and the depth of field you used. Shooting macro can be difficult if you want a pristine subject, but here you seem to be acknowledging the life cycle of these flowers. Did you look around for the critter who left the holes? That would make a good subject too!
I actually find this photo to be one of your best nature shots to date. It has that nice 'S' flow from front to back. It goes right, left and then right again as you go out of the photo.
Maybe you didn't see that in the photo due to focusing so much on what you thought it didn't have. Great job!
I work in the industrial distribution sector as a salesman for a master distributor of valves and fittings in Houston, TX. I am a member of the Bay Area Photo Club which meets at the Art Alliance Center at Clear Lake in Clear Lake Texas on Tuesday nights. I shoot with an Olympus E-3 and my favorite lens in my Zuiko 12-60.

I don't see any flaws at all. Nice composition and good use of depth of field. I like it!
Well done!

I like this image, too. I have never seen a perfect scene. Perfect is just someone's opinion.
