Hello from the Critique club, my name is Jon Rowe, and i will be looking at your image this evening :)


Composition/Lighting : lighting and composition on this image really seems to be great. i think the only nitpick i can think of would be would be that it's just so soft, no real visible focus point, which throws the eye all over the place looking for a subject. great picture though. real nice abstract feel to it, and great colors.

Challenge : this without a doubt really meets the challenge. those colors are beautiful. they really pop. very nice job.

Conclusion : very nice score w/ this poetic image. i really enjoyed viewing your submission. might try some more dramatatic, darker lighting with this, and see what you think. i like it as is, but it's always fun to play around,especially with such a beautiful subject.

Keep on shootin!

Good luck on your future challenges:)

Wow! This is so PRETTY!! I love the tight close crop! And the soft detail on that lovely flower. It reminds me of something icy. Very beautiful!

the colour and detail are good, but the composition is not one that complements the flower at at all

I would have liked a little less shallow depth of field in order to see more of the fuzzy detail of the plant. I do like your composition - very dramatic.

Good colours, good detail except for the front petal that is out of focus. A better DOF would improve this photo a lot.

Fuzzy texture, wish the green background was less primary
