Greetings from the Critique Club Raymond.
A lovely shot of the rose. Crisp. clear and what can I say about the beautiful color other than.....well.....beautiful.
A few things hurt your score here. I see where you were going with this but the angle of the shot really got into your composition. The rose seems more like it's blocking a decent subject rather than grabbing my attention as the main focal point. As someone pointed out, moving a bit to the left would've allowed more of the church to show, therefore leading us right to the rose. To get the correct exposure on the subject you had to blow the sky out. Taking this shot a bit later in the day might've helped with that. As you can tell by the ribbon winners and high score, the "Unexpected Find" really needed to be something unexpected. I'm sure many voters didn't consider a rose to be something one wouldn't expect to see.
Overall a beautiful shot with great color.
Thanks for the opportunity to critique this image Raymond.
Cheers - Phil |

| I think I'd have liked this photo more if you had used more of the church in the background. |

| I'd like to see the church oriented in such a way that it doesn't fall directly behind the rose. Also, the other rose poking its head into the frame is slightly distracting as is...fully in or fully out could be more effective. If you reshoot this, stepping just a tad to the left, the church and the other rose will both be in the shot, but in a different way that might be nice. Good luck this week and in the future. |

| Nice. But Im not sure I like the steeple and church coming right out of the top of the rose. It doesnt allow for closure. It may have been nice to get them out of direct alignment. |

| Pretty but ... I hesitate to say ... not really unexpected IMHO, however this is one of the those challenges where anything goes and DPCers like flowers - good luck. Edit - I do like the DOF. |

| Not quite sure how this is an unexpected find. Nice capture of color and sharpness in the rose. |
