Hello from the critique club

An appealing image that contributes well to the open challenge

This is a nice piece of observation, you feel as though you are peering into their secret world. Your composition is good it shows off the building in which they are working to advantage with lots of interesting detail. I like your mono processing there is a good range of tones and the exposure itself is all good. A nice piece of work, thanks for sharing Michelle.

Greetings from the Critique Club! This is a very pretty picture and as a commenter mentioned, could well be a motivational poster all on its own. The light is nice and soft, the flowers are tack-sharp and the blur of the rain adds dynamism, a sense of DOF and texture. Composition and lighting are perfect for the shot; I feel that its simplicity is vastly underappreciated. Please keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing more of your entries soon.

I love the simplicity of this image and the contrast between the foreground and background.

This pretty, unpretentious image brings to mind candles in a storm, resolute and unflickering. There's a motivational poster without any need for words.
