Cameron Highlands Flower!

Photo taken in Cameron Highlands June 2008!
Comments and Critique please! =D

How's the colour and composition?
Light drizzle just ended. We were at the cactus farm, a very nice, cold and calm afternoon. =D
I quite like this picture because the colours of the flower looks really fresh!
Also, the petals of the flower creates a very interesting pattern!

the colours are bright and the contrast is strong.

however, the picture will look better where the whole flower is in the frame.

I disagree. The 'weird' crop is what makes it different. Nice colors.

Ooooo, noted! But because I feel that if the whole flower is in the frame, the flower will be right smack in the center. Which is not what I want =) But thanks for taking the time tooo! =D

My guess is that you were taking this pic while standing and pointed the camera downwards to capture it. If you have realised, this might not have been the best way to capture and compose such a pic. Get to the flower level to shoot it. Trust me, it will bring forth a different and better perspective.
