Thanks, well actually this was a little bit of both, I shot the picture with this depth of field, but then used a little gaussin blur on the edges of the background flowers, cause i felt they looked, guh, to say the least. Thanx though for the feedback, i'll hopefully appear in another competition in the near future.

Greetings from the Critique Club

YOur first Challenge! And you did well with it. Great.

YOu have a good image that met the Challenge nicely and was well received by our voters. The delicacy of your subject matter was appreciated by the viewers and your placement in the frame of the dominant dried flower worked well. As a matter of choice, you might try taking a similar shot with varying degrees of DOF in the frame. One flower might be very crisp, one medium crisp, and more really soft focus. When the viewer moves from one degree of focus to another it gives him/her something more to look at and keeps him/her in the frame longer. Sometimes a good way to get a better score.

When you check the "Critique Box" on your submission, it's always a good idea to be sure to include your settings and to also include a brief comment in the Photographer's Comments box. This helps a future critiquer to give you a more precise comment on your work.

Meanwhile, I'll just conclude this one by saying again, "Welcome to DPC". I'll look forward to seeing more of your work.
