Critique Club Comment:
A spent sunflower tiredly leaning--nice subject for duotones. I love the texture and the way the lighting shows it off!
Composition: The eye is led in from the left by the stem and comes to a stop at the seed head. There is, after that, little for the eye to do except start over. The balance within the frame feels awkward--though that may help convey the inevitable falling of the flower stalk. Perhaps other approaches to the framing or cropping would have worked better--hard to say.
Technical: I see nothing wrong with this technically. There is a nice range of tones, detail in the shadows, and various tones in the sky which help avoid a dull backdrop to your subject.
Overall, I think you have chosen and interesting subject, tried to convey a mood and suggest a story. It's not the sort of image that will immediately graab all viewers--but if one is willing to spend some time with it, they will discover its subtle appeal. |

| Good eye! I believe that's what seperates good photographers from average photographers, having that "Good Eye". Goo job and choice of tones. (9) |

| Nice contrast on this one. Thought the composition needs some work, maybe less stem. |

| Nice angle, but your sky looks a bit artificial? |
