Echinopsis tubiflora

For Sunday Challenge 117: Square composition
www.ipernity.com/group/daysincolour365/doc

I am not a square format addict...

I chose to crop this photo because today's challenge reminded me of a situation on ipernity:
A member criticized my photo flowers for being not accurate, in his opinion I should take photos like if I was doing it for a flower shop catalog, so square and just the flower. Don't even know if like this it would have suited his group because e hated bokeh effects...

Here is the original one:

Admirablement prise et excellemment rendue sous cet effet..
Le bokeh enjolive encore plus la mise en valeur.
Bonne et heureuse journée dominicale paisible.

Jolie fleur de cactée
J'utilise souvent ce format en télémacro pour les gros plans recadrés utilisés pour visualiser un détail et ou l'aspect artistique compte peu

Je recherche toujours l'esthétique, pas la « photo de catalogue », c'est ma façon d'exprimer mon sentiment face à ce que je vois...

Ich finde, dass das Bild mit dem Kaktus im Hintergrund interessanter ist.
Die Blüte allein, wie der "Blumenfotograf" es will, ist interessant.
Aber mit dem Kaktus in der Hintergrundunschärfe können auch "nicht Botaniker", wie ich, etwas mit dem Bild anfangen.

I always look for the aesthetics, not for the “catalog photo”, is is my way to express my feeling towards what I see…

A really lovely capture............and I like the subtle colour difference between the centre of the flower and the petals. Lovely light and a nice out-of-focus background too.

The close up view in the PiP is splendid..!!

A beautiful flower it amazes be the energy they use producing such a large flower for a very short short time. In my opinion the best photo are the ones you like if it pleases other people that is good if not so be it, it would be a dull world if everyone liked the same things. My go to format is 16:9

Fully agree with you... but some people think they are entitled to criticize systematically others, not my thing, when it is the case I simply turn my back. But constructive criticism is always good to take.
