Critique Club Commentary:

On initial impression, I'm attracted by the detail and color of the front flower and the mirroring of the blurred secondary background subject.

On further viewing, I'm seeing good detail, focus and dynamic range in the front flower, but I become slightly distracted by the darkness in the upper left corner and the splashes of yellow behind the front flower.

Compositionally, the strong diagonal line created between the flowers draws my attention appropriately between the foreground subject and the mirrored background subject. I'd like to see a bit further down the stem of the foreground subject, which seems to be sitting right on the bottom edge of the image. Finally, the distance between the two subjects may be a bit extreme, with a tendency to push both subjects too far toward the corners.

The light is fairly soft and provides even coverage, but seems a bit flat - perhaps in need of more contrast/highlights.

Overall it is an appealing image that succeeds on first impression and provides interest and composition to hold attention and encourage a longer look.
