Winter Dock

I love the way the dock and spit of land seem to reach out to each other - plus the way colors of the sky/water and dock/grasses blend.

Greetings from Andi via the Critique Club

First Impression: ok, I have my 'implied' head on so can just about see a circle!

Composition: The subject is too central for me and whilst the background is almost oof there are too many visible distractions. The viewpoint might give the implied circle but its pretty basic.

Subject: Flowers are deemed cliche at dpc and to score well they have to be unusual and outstanding, sadly this shows neither to my eye.

Technical: Focus on the flower is ok but not pin sharp and the top of the petal is a little overexposed. Your choice of dof blurred the background well but the actual background is still a little distracting

Final thoughts: An average shot of a flower, the composition and busy background with tenuous meeting of the challenge title make me think the final score was about right for this shot.

Comment by mauidude:
Not really a circle and a I think it'd be slightly better composition to see the flower to the left or right of center.

Good candid shot of some alternative medicine practice. For better results I would suggest not using the on camera flash or bouncing the flash off the ceiling or a wall.

The stuff in the background is a distraction. It makes the picture seem like it doesn't have a main point to it.
