Greetings from the Critique Club :)
Hi Mona...
This is a beautiful photo. It looks like a spring snow has subdued the new growth in your part of the world... This lone flower seems to be struggling to find the light again and save itself from the freeze. This is a great example of weather... even though it may be unwanted weather. The water drops look like the represent the tears of this flower's struggle for life...
The square composition here seems to work very well, especially with the digaonal orientation of the flower in the frame. Strong diagonals always seem to work well in a lot of compositions. This composition also works very well because the purple flower is nicely isolated from any distracting elements. It stands out and makes a bold statement... "I want to live!" :)
Your photographic 'eye' must be very strong, because this is a great capture. Learning to take notice of things like this is a major part of creating great photos. Technical skill with the camera is useless if you point your lens at a dull and boring subject. Looking for the light... looking for the color... knowing how to find your opportunities... knowing when to look... all of these are part of the game :)
Keep up the great work :)
John Setzler

| Very nice! great compositon color exposure almost perfect. A little light in the top portion and the detail is getting lost. Not as sharp as it should be either. |

| Excellent. The snow is a crisp white. good detail. did the color get adjusted a bit? there is a clear color seperation on the petals, going from a blusinh to a light lilac color. Nice shot |

| Probably the last snow shot you'll be taking this year. Spring is here! Although this shot really awakens Spring feelings. The snow is melting, flowers are starting to show through, this picture tells a story good job - 9. |

| Beautiful - I'm especially keen on the way you've captured each grain of snow. Lovely splash of colour on the flower in an otherwise fairly colourless image. 8. |
