Orchis Orchids Everywhere - Kew Gardens, London

Looks purple instead of red or pink to me.

But what really hurts is the distracting elements. The metal clamp thingy on the left. The bright white blown out areas. Maybe moving around the flower a bit more to find a composition without what I assume is a window would help.

Hello from the critique club...

wow stunning image. The DOF is awesome. You have been able to bring out every detail in the feathers. I can almost hear his piercing screech. The lighting is a bit harsh on his bill, however. That really is my only negative. Overall good shot...I do think it should have scored slightly higher though.

Happy shooting

:-) Cute little guy. I like the shadows. If there had been a bit more color contrast I would have scored it higher.

For me, this picture does not really hold my attention. It may be that the lizard is a little blurry, but there is not much else for me to look at. Maybe shooting at a lower perspective would help?

Not really enough detail for me, perhaps a little shapening is in order. 5

If only you could have convinced him to bring his tail out into the sun, too! He looks like a very proud and good looking lizard.

Heavier processing may have helped this little guy stand out bit more. As is though he just doesnt have the wow power to stand up well in a FS>
