Happy easter, and greetings from the Critique Club!
First, congratulations on an 86% percentile and top 50 positioned image. Well deserved in a wide challenge with many contenders.
You have chosen an almost-square crop for this image. I think it works very well for a centered/all-covering composition like this. The lines work against each other, and the fact that it's not entirely diagonal adds a little disturbance against the chosen cropping, and that makes the image more exciting.
You've captured a sharp and clear, well-contrasted image of a difficult subject. You need to get up close to get it, and it needs a well-placed light. You've done all these things well. The only thing I want to pick on is that I think the frame is nicely placed, but it is twice as large as I'd like it to be. However, I really like the colors, the glow, contrast that tells me that you've done great both in capturing the image and post-processing it.
It meets the challenge, of course, and a good interpretation of it given your title. Depicting the flow of time and life with a flower might be a cliche, but a good one that you've used well.
Technically, it's a good shot. You seem to have had a lot of light to do this, and you've captured good detail. I had a look at your portfolio, which is pretty impressive and variated - you seem to know what you're doing, so a technical critque won't be nescessary.
It's hard to critique an image that contains this little, but you have done well in creating a simple, yet impressive shot. The glow and the really close macro is what gets you ahead of the other flower shots in this challenge.

| The colors are beautiful, but for me, the frame is way too big. I think it takes the focus away from your image. The image is good enough to stand on its own, in my opinion - or with a very thin black frame. |

| Really nice picture. Very detailed. I would have gone with a smaller border, it takes away from the pic a bit. |

Very well done and presented image. Did you iron it to get it looking like that? :)
It works and works and works for me. Beautiful stuff. |
