Here are 2 Water lillies from Fiji, I haven't done a lot of flower photography and wasn't sure how to frame shots like this, I heard that dead centre is usually a No-No, but to me it seems to make sense with a shot like this.. (maybe I'm just weird).

Anyways, Doug thought I should push the PP more then I have, but I'm torn between a punchier shot and a shot that is closer to how I saw it when I took the shot . Can someone with a bit more experience in the field lend me there opinion. Thanks!

Craig - centre is fine in my book. If these are how you saw them leave alone - I like in particular #2 - beautiful subtle colours.

fantastic shots!
in the centre looks great to me, simple and effective. i also think the colours look great the way they are, very natural which I like! it's nature after all.

I prefer the more natural colours (closer to what they were). It looks more natural.

Both are beautiful Craig. I love the muted colours. Don't change a thing.

Craig, lucky bugger having a holliday in such a nice place, anyhow mate looks like you got some nice shots and the lillies looks nice. Flowers not my scene unless they are going under the lawnmower or getting hit with roundup.LOL But these look pretty.
Cheers
