Blooming Bright

The day after I bought my new camera (a shiney new FujiFilm Finepix S8000fd! ) I decided to have a go at some flower photography. I don't do many flower shots, but I thought getting a new camera was reason enough to try

I was learning to use the manual mode, as well as trying out the 'flower' setting, so this was a bit of a learning curve (and unfortunately one that ended in all the shots being slightly too bright! :o )

I did quite like this shot, so I decided to try adding a border. I'd love to know what you all think

If you have any critique/suggestions/advice etc., it's always appreciated
