Beautiful macro shot! Nice colors!
Only the flower on the left is well focused. You could try to take the cammera in an angle that all flowers have a almost same distance form camera lense. So, all flowers would be in focus.
Good luck

Hi again Mohsen,
This pic is nicely composed and the blossoms make an excellent subject. There are a couple of problems with it, though.
The first one, relating to the focus, has already been mentioned in another critique. The FZ30 has a really good macro mode but in a situation such as this, where the focal depth is too short for the depth of the subject, changes have to be made. Moving further away from the subject and then zooming in should give better results. That incredible lens and the camera's ability to zoom are simply the BEST so take advantage of it! I can't promise it'll be perfect but it should reduce this problem. I've had the same problem in a similar situation (you'll notice the focus errors in my Weta pics) and I've since found that it works for me. Another solution to the problem is offered in babri's critique.
The second problem I noticed is the light but this is just my personal opinion so, if you disagree, please ignore what I say! :-) I feel that if the sun was more directly on the blossoms and if there was less shadow, the overall effect would be more attractive. Taking a pic of a better placed cluster of blossoms or waiting for the sun to move to a different position may have helped.
Even with the things I mentioned, I really like the pic and find it very attractive. The colours and contrast are simply wonderful!

Hugs,
Tony
