Greetings from the Critique Club!
Composition: The composition leads the eye straight into the red flowers. There isn't much else the eye wants to look at, they are immediately drawn into the flowers then stay there. The image looks rather flat to me. The lighting isn't very dynamic. Maybe it would be more interesting if the lighting was at a slant to create more shadows or if the flashlight was under the flowers to create backlighting. But as it is, there are hardly any shadows, so it isn't very dynamic.
Technical:the first thing I notice is that it looks out of focus. Maybe because it was shot at night and probably handheld at 1/6 of a second (a pretty slow shutter speed). I recommend using a tripod for anything slower than 1/50th of a second. I also noticed that you shot this at ISO 400, which caused the noise/graininess.
Overall: I think you have a great idea going here. It has a lot of potential to be an excellent image. If you camera was on a tripod (or something else that could give good stability) and the lighting more dynamic, I think this could have been a great image. |

| I haev the feeling you could have panned right, lost the dark green in the background, included the complete bunch of the flowers and had a stronger result? |
