::: Critique Club :::
Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club. Thank you for the opportunity to criqitue your your first entry.
First Impression - the most important one:
Interesting shot .. a little much to focus on ...
Composition:
As mentioned there is a little much to focus on .. if you could have focused on a smaller area or on one or two of the tulips this would have created a more interesting and speicific image, but also created the focus point.
Subject:
Meets the challenge .. and does so very well ...
Technical (Colour and light):
I think that the comments you have received is good .. and me giving you more will confuse the issue ... take note that the comments are really good on this.
To grow its vote?:
Take a look at the other shots in the challenge .. and learn from them ... but also have a look aroudn at a few of the portfolios ... and try to learn from what they are doing.
Summary:
What a great first shot .. I remember mine ... not that long along ... a branch ... we all learn and this is a great place to do it.
If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.
Cheers
Kari |

| This is a good opurtunity for a great photo. However, it's a shame that so much of the colour has been lost from the light source illuminating the tulips. I can't tell whether it was a camera flash or a light behind you, but when shooting night shots with colours, always try to go for the long exposure rather than artifical lighting. 6 |

Great subject! However, the lighting is sadly flat. I believe that even two flashlights hidden in the leaves pointing back toward the camera, yet trained on one bloom of your choosing could add a bit of pizzazz to the yellow of the bloom & the photo overall.
I am making mental note of this one for just that purpose. Thanks. |

| I like flowers a lot, but not at night with flash photography. IMHO I think this would have worked much better as a day shot. Overall it isnt too bad. good clarity. |

| I think these tulips could have looked so much more interesting with "night light" on them instead of flash. Turn the flash off and go for a long exposure and see what you think. |

| Head-on flash is not a good thing. Could have tried to single out a flower and light it using a flashlight or something. |

| I don't think the out of focus foreground works for this, and I'm not crazy about the direct flash. |

| For night shots, natural sources of light that don't show up as harshly usually work better than a flash. |
