Greetings from Critique Club: Silver Fox
I'm doing a critique on the flower, not on the Leading Lines Challenge as I do not believe that this fit the challenge.
Personally, I love flower photos and the more natural, the better, such as the one you've captured here. I think perhaps that you should have looked for one that you could have "shot" from above rather from below, as the whiteness of the sky has sort of blown the flower away from the person looking at it.
You've captured the yellow nicely, but I would like to have seen some of the greenery around it at the same time.
The focus and lighting are good, but I notice that you've cropped off a piece of the top petal, was this on purpose? or were you just going to large with it?
What you have to remember sometimes is that BIGGER is not always best,sometimes keeping your photograph smaller and bringing in some of the background would enhance your flower with some visual impact, but only you can decide what is best. There really isn't an aspect of this flower photo that makes it stand out and shout "look at me", but at least you tried, and you entered it in the Challenge, so please keep on shooting and keep on trying your best to become better at what you're doing. . .
Sincerely, Silver Fox |

Oh why oh why do we keep on seeing flowers in every challenge that have no business being there???? Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I appologize for my blunt comment.... I guess I shouldn't post comments so early in the morning! :-) I guess you were my chosen victim! So sorry.... don't get me wrong, I don't mind pics of flowers or cats or kids.... lemme try and redeem myself....
Lighting and focus: good use of light and dark tones, the shallow DOF keeps the focus on the flower
Respect of theme: Sorry but has nothing to do, IMO, with the theme. Leading lines should be a focussed trajectory that leads your eye to a desired point in the photo. I do not see this in this photo.
cropping & composition: a part from the top petal being cut the cropping is good. The colors seem a bit washed out. You probably had a grey sky.
Yanik No hard feeling I hope. :-) |

| Little bright in the background, but I like it. it does take some of the saturation out of the flower. |

| I think I see the lines you are trying to use to go to your subject. But for the challege they are suppose to be the main focus that takes your eye to the subject. My eye here goes right to the subject and does not see the lines... Nice focus though on the daph! |
