I think this would have looked better without the border effect.

This has such wonderful lighting! Was this straight out of the camera or did you do some adjusting? Either way it's a great picture! Thank you!

I don't care for the border that you used with this, however it is very interesting and well taken otherwise. The white spaces where light was shining out of the window are a bit distracting, but I think it would have been almost impossible to avoid.

Nice shot

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Hi! This is a lovely overall shot and I originally gave it a 7 during the challenge.

What threw me off initially in the challange and still does now is the cropping to start. I'm guessing you were going for the rules of 1/3 with the off center crop and I think it would work very well if the center of the flower was more to the right and down just a hair.

You said you only adjusted the brightness but I wonder if you did anything with the coloration also because of the blue tint that is coming across on my monitor. Or was that the lighting that you used? I like the tint, it's very surreal which really works with this shot.

The border is unique but also a bit distracting to me personally. Also while the shot is sharp, it's coming across with a very soft focus and the white area above the bud is a bit overbright to me. Perhaps a different angle so it's a leave behind the buds?

I hope this helps and should you decide to do any of the changes I offered I would love to see the redone work! But it is a great shot as is!

Good Luck In Future Challenges!

I can't vote, but I'd give this a 10. Well done.

High-key is tricky (at least I've never gotten it right!), and here I think the problem is that the center looks like it has lots of shadows, only they are over-exposed. A good high-key shot can have dark shadows, only they can't cover significant portions of the image. Anyway, great composition, and I rather like the frame.

What a gorgeous high-key effect. The misty feeling fits the subject well.
