*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

An appealing flower study that meets the challenge well.

A very competent image of the camelia composed in an appealing off centre way. I disagree with one of your commenters I think the chosen aperture is most appropriate giving you a DOF with just the right amount of softness and detail.

I wouldn't mind seeing the occasional flower study without the seemingly obligatory water drops! It looks like you have used flash which is illuminating the front of the floor a little too much for me. I would prefer to see the natural hues and shadows, a lot of the natural delicate detail has been lost here through the use of flash.

Please forgive the long delay in this critique, I hope you feel the image and critique are both still relevant, Sid.

An attractive composition. Nice very light pink color of the flower too.

Perhaps a little blur added to soften the bokeh? Structure/clarity adjustment in the OOF regions distract from the delicate nature of the rest of the shot.
