Greetings from the Critique Club!

I haven't been around much lately so I didn't get a chance to vote in this challenge but had I voted I would have probably started this out at a 7 and then possibly bumped it to an 8 if I had the chance to go back.

It's a lovely picture, the balance is well done and the contract is very well done. The bright white to the dark backdrop. The buds in the background are a bit distracting though to me personally. I like the shot, it would make a lovely print but the buds, especially on the left side are competing with the flower for my attention. If they were a bit darker like the ones on the right it might be better.

The crop also leaves me wanting just a bit, a tighter crop on the top, taking out that bud would really make this shot pop IMHO. I like the image but just a few tweeks and I would really love it!

Hope my comments help, thanks!

I like the contrast of the flower to the background, but the flower itself appears to be floating since there isn't any visible stem.

Compositionally quite strong and good use of differential focus. Seems a little noisy, although it could be my monitor. 9.

should this have been verticle, if not why? Nice flowers.

I think this would have been more effective if it was rotated so the pedals were facing upwards.

But I absolutely love the composition of this photo!

Now this is high contrast IMHO. Great job. Beautiful tones and a pleasing composition. Nice job.

Nice photo, but not sure what is the high contrast here.

Stunning. I love the white against the dark with the green leaf tips peeking out. Nicely done.
