Hey there from the Critique Club

Camera Work/Technical: Interesting, but the flower lost some of its crisp focus with the camera movement. I do like your choice of WB, as the colors are nicely captured.

Lighting: Great lighting for the effect you were after. The subject stands nicely off the background that you created.

Composition/Content: I think that this one is a bit too centered. While I am no stickler on the rules of photography, it often helps the image by pulling it out of the center.

My Opinion: I think that this one scored pretty close to its potential. Voters here like vivid colors and high contrast. I do like the idea, and I think that you pulled it off pretty well.

it's nice the way the central flower glows. 7.

For some reason, I am reminded of The Secret of NIMH, but I can't put my finger on why.

Good zoom work but needs some more contrast.

Nice take on motion blur. I like the effect that the zooming in has created. Nice shot.

The centre just needs to be tad sharper to be a v good shot

I think this is a great idea, and it has potential. I just wish the flower was a bit clearer.

It's "ok". This may have had more impact if the subject flower wasn't centered. You have some negative dark space on the right that could have been cropped out. Just a thought. Good luck.
