Greetings from the Critique Club
By Inspzil
Composition - I think this one suffered from the colors you chose for the composition. Not the traditional orange, green, and violet that we have all grown accustomed to as our "secondary colors". I am in agreement with the masses here though. The overwhelming pink is hard to overlook in such a challenge. I gotta say the pink flowers look rather fake, whether they are or not. They seem very regular, kind of stiff too. The green part of them also looks artificial.
Technical - I'm surprised the DOF is so shallow at f4.7. Maybe if you were around f8 with a slower shutter you could've gotten the same exposure values with more DOF. You didn't use a tripod nor do I think it was very necessary. The shutter was plenty fast enough to accomodate in this situation. The focus on the front stuff is pretty good, but there is so much more to this picture where the focus is inherent due to the placement of the other flowers.
Overall - You didn't get much help on this one in the comments, that's for sure. I think that the shallow DOF and the choices of colors in this picture resulted in the low score. If the flocks were purple, it might've been an easier sell to the viewers. Purple and green would've been a nice combo for this challenge. It's not a poorly taken picture, but there are elements of it that I think could be improved. As I look at the picture one last time, I think you probably could've cropped some more of the dirt out of the bottom to make the whole thing a little more colorful. Sorry this didn't work out so well from you. Hope I could be at least a little help since your comments didn't do much for you. Good luck in the future. - Inspzil
