Sooooo my house was full of flowers... my brothers in law were kinda nice and even my father took his romantic side out... And well I had to experiment a little. This time with a fluorescent light, cold, but nice. And well... such a typical subject as a red rose must have a not so typical way to let itself see itself so... I tried something a little bit different. Where nobody watches, but it still got beauty!

Greetings from the critique club...

Let me start by saying I like this shot a lot. I like the fact that it's an abstract, but not so much that you can't figure out what it is. There's just enough detail showing on the smaller leaves to hold my attention. It's crisp ... sharp ... well done.

I don't particularly like the leaf on the right. It's partially in focus and partial out of focus which makes it a bit distracting, and I don't think it needs to be there anyway. Just leaving that area blank would have been OK I think.

Normally I would say that the eye is drawn to the brightest part of an image, which in this case is the background and not the subject, but it works here because of the silhouette you've created.

Great Job!

It took me a while to realize that dark spot on the right was a leaf and not a church tower or something like that.

I really like abstract shots that tug at the mind as you try to envision why it's familiar yet unable to know what it is exactly - nicely done

Um...I don't get the title. I just can't seem to settle on anything to look at here.
