Greetings from the Critique Club:
Hi Robert
I like the idea and it definitely has 'seeds'in it so certainly matches the Challenge title.
Composition:
The position of the seeds in the frame and the appearance that they are falling is good. The spectrum of light adds another aspect to this shot that makes it stand out from other images that have used similar 'seeds'.
Tehcnicals:
The colours in the spectrum of light are nice, on my screen in the green on the right handside there appears to be some small patches that don't look quite right. This could just be the way it looks or a processing 'problem'?
The subject would suit a black background but again there appears to be some areas on either side of the frame that are a slightly different colour to the centre of the background. Small little details but on voting I would be looking at all these things.
I would agree with the comments below, the seeds are a little grey and would look better if you were able to lighten them to get them a bit whiter. I also agree that the seeds could benefit from slightly less sharpening.
My Personal Thought:
I may have been tempted to do two things with this shot. One would be to lose the spectrum altogther and just have the whiter falling seeds against the black background, but that would have taken away that extra 'something' this shot has. Or I may have placed the spectrum to go more from one corner to the other, say bottom right to top left.
If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.

I wish the seeds were less gray, too!

| Maybe a bit too sharp, I think I'd like the seeds to look a bit softer. |

| I like the prismatic colors. I would adjust contrast so that the seeds were whiter. |

| This photo really inspires me. I love the use of a prism to create the beautiful rainbow background. This photo makes me want to try this, and I will, but I am sure it won't come out as well. |
