I love the composition... I crave a little more sharpness on this one... the colors are there, the drama is there... but the sharpness isn't... which, in my mind, would have made all the difference...

but what do I know? You have a very good eye for beauty!

Love the composition, the colors, and yes, it's plenty sharp enough. What I think it might use is some highlights. That would put it over the top. Just my opinion.

Seconded on the highlights. I'm a sucker for dynamic range, even when the image is moody. I kind of like the 'gritty and decayed' kind of feeling the flowers give off here.

So here are more highlights...what think you?

Yes, I didn't think it was unsharp, but françois' suggestion to sharpen was a good one.
Does the trick. Very nice.
