Greetings from the Critique Club
Hello! Congratulations on your nice placement in the Flower challenge. This is, of course, a striking image, and immediately engendered strong emotions from your commentors.
Technically, and compositionally, in my opinion, it's just fine. sure it's bold and the colors almost hurt, but that's what you wanted and that's what you achieved. I very much like the way you made the stems cross on the two lilies. That added an extra thoughtful touch to the image.
I will point out that the lighting on the lavender background is very slightly uneven (but you knew that) and the flowers have a slight indication of oversharpening, at least on my monitor. But those are pickings of nits, and just something to do to keep my fingers occupied while on the keyboard.
In any event, nice image, and I'm very pleased to have the chance to examine it more closely.
Keep up the good work.
Alice |

| Carl - great finish in a very tough challenge, and a new pic on your top row, too! Very unique and lovely presentation - and in reading your notes, took a lot of work, too. |

| Great shot here. The flowers alone are striking, but with that purple background, they have even more eye appeal. Very artistically done! |

| 3 - The lilies are beautiful, however in my opinion this beauty gets lost in your choice of background(s), framing, lighting and the reflection off the glass/vase. The concept of squeezing them into the neck of the vase/bottle/glass could work, but it looks too harsh and 'stiff' as is. Again, the choice of both colors in the background as well as shapes, coupled with the hard framing, detracts overall from the potential in this shot, in my opinion. A variation in angle/perspective and lighting, would also likely have helped. |

| The lilies are very pretty but I am not sure about that purple square in the background. I think the image would have been stronger with an all black background. |
