Mum took me to botanical garden's today for help with my art homework. I was told to take pictures of flowers, leaves... anything that may help me with my mexican day of the dead project. I was wondering if you guys could maybe give feedback on these photo's?
Thanks!

I love the first picture and the second picture. They are very clear, they fill the frame, and they're precise. After that they don't do as much for me. I realize you're also supposed to photograph leaves, but in that case I think it's better to really single out a specific leaf - the leaf pictures felt like they had no real focal point; they're just a green background, and they feel kind of empty without a flower. Although I think the second leaf picture (fifth total picture) would probably be really cool if the top of that center leaf was in focus like the rest of it is - that one looked kind of cool, but the first leaf picture really didn't do anything for me. Just something to keep in mind.

I hope that helped, anyway...

These are really great! There's a lot of people who are better at reviewing photography, but these are extremely clear. You must have been using a high-quality camera or something...
Anyways, they turned out very beautiful.

Hi there! I am a HUGE flower buff and I just love how they look. Some photographers change the hue of the flower in their photos, and they don't reveal the real beauty of the plant. You didn't for sure! Your photos are the best flower photos I've ever seen! I love it! Amazing joba nd keep it up!
