Hello from the critique club!

One of the first things I do when I look at a critique club photo is to try and guess which challenge it came from before I look at the photo information. This one really didn't strike me as a sillhouette.

It seems the overall effect is darkness with the one area of light, whereas a sillhouette generally has the opposite I think - an overall effect of light with the one area of darkness.

I think the subject itself (the bloom), lacks a really distinctive shape to use to try and capture a sillhouette here. I think it's pretty evident that it is some sort of plant, but there's really nothing to catch my interest.

I hope you find this helpful!

Too dark! I can't see your blossom.

Composition is poor, too messy. Maybe a more simple flower shape would have worked better.

very dark

Sorry, but this image seems too busy - hard to read.

Too close. I would like to see the whole flower.

This composition does not work for me - it is too difficult to see what the subject is....
