This is a very strong image.  The photographer has done a good job of making the subject his own and allowed us to see this flower in a new way.  The placement of the floral axis low and to the left is a focal point for our interest.  The depth of focus is amazingly sharp all the way through.  I am going to guess this was not taken with a close up macro lens but rather cropped down to this size.

I mentioned in an earlier article that the photographer bears all the responsibility for imperfections in this type of close up illustration.  Here we have a nearly perfect flower but for some reason there are small spots throughout the photograph.  At first I thought they were just blemishes in the flower peddles but I also see them in the dark gray background.  The photographer may want to do some test shops agents a gray card and make sure there is nothing wrong with the camera or lens.

There are a couple of ways these can be removed on the computer.  You can clone out the spots or you can replace the background.  That is what I did with the modified image show below.  First I selected the background then replaced it with a graduated gray then while still selected I added some nose to keep the gray from looking too painted in.
