Young photographer from Russia

[Andi Sual]

Hello from Russia!
I am a new user here, registrated just now, couse found that here I can listen some critique about my "works"! It is very interesting for me - I make photoes during last 2 years but never show them to anybody untill last months, when I take part in an exhibition made by Russian Unity of Artists. So I started to belive in myself. So I will be very happy to listen some truely comments from all of you, it is very important for me!
So, here is the first photo I bring to notice.
Excuse me my English!

Hello and welcome to the forum .

Your shot looks really well exposed , composed and framed with a lovely depth of field , but with what I think is a flower stem in the lower right hand corner that is very distracting .
I don't know what image editing software you have but may be you could clone it out .

By the way your English is 100% better than my Russian .

Dear Mark,
thank you for your reply!
To be honest, this flower stem also annoying my eyes! I tried to take it away by Adobe Photoshop CS5, but I am not enough practised to do it without remains...

Hi Andi and welcome, if you still have the original photo try using the spot healing brush tool, keep the brush small and if you make a mistake hit Control/Alt/Z to undo the error. We have a saying " Practice makes Perfect " so keep on trying and good luck, I'm the same as Mark over the English and my Russian no good either.

Thank you! Ofcourse I have the original! I will try to do it. And tomorrow I will post one more photo for some critique.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

I like the image apart from the flower stalk that has been mentioned previously. It is nicely angled.

As the others said, don't worry about your English, you have got your message across very well.

Thank you, Steve!
