Purple Petuniaby
heidibComment by gjumi: There are many factors that make this image a bad one, and I'll just try to mention two:
i) the size of the image is small. There are cases when even small images can have an impact, they look better as a thumbnail, rather than full sized. But, not in this case. The focus of this image is supposed to be the flower, so you need to show it in all its glory and beauty, or whatever the point of the shot it.
ii) the composition is terrible. There's a flower dead center, which isn't bad by itself, but then you have some other flowers fighting for attention, like the one looking to the ground, on the left. Also, the bottom one is cut in half, and this just makes this photo mutilated, instead of interesting.
There is something good on this photo: the separation of the subject by colour. Yes, your flower has a different colour than the background. But, this is hardly enough to make this an interesting shot.
Better luck in the other challenges.
