First off this is a pretty shot of flowers and the color is very nice. The thing I think hurt this shot is it is a very average point and click shot of flowers. Try to go for a bit of a different angle next time…just experiment. Don’t want to tell you that it would look better up-close or down low…just find something that looks good to you and that makes an ordinary flower shot stand out a bit more than others. Also…not sure…but you might want to watch your highlights…looks as if they might barely be going and leaving with the texture that use to be there. See it on the whitest parts of the flowers. Like I said…your shot is not a bad one…but the score you got fit your image for this challenge….it is pretty but so were almost all the other flowers…have to find that little something that makes people stop that extra second or two on yours and gives a point or so higher.

Busy, but quite pleasantly so.

Very beautiful natural image. This is what flowers really look like! I like it (but I don't think the image is going to work all that well for the challenge). (7)

Nice delicate details. Pin sharp without being harsh.

Excellent clarity. Really a beautiful photo but some may think it is too busy (I don't).

Nice focus on the 3 columbines. They are special flowers.

Gorgeous...you caught these right at their peak, I'd say...I'm interested in learning where you found them

The flowers are very nice and sharp, but the background is too busy for the image to be fully effective. Also, there is no obvious centre of interest in the image.
