Greetings from the Critique Club

Composition: This is a hard one. The flower is so large in the frame that the bits of background that do show through are exagerated. When I look at the image my eye flicks from the background at the top-left to the bit at the right and back again. I think either fill the frame some more or not so tight.

Technicals: The flower is nice and sharp and the colours are bright. There is a little bit of noise/grain in the image (look at the lower left) but otherwise good.

Feelings: While this is a nice close up of a flower it lacks something to make me say "cool" or "wow". It's nice but that's it. nice seems to be a 5 on DPC and that's what the image got. A different perspective on the flower may have added some more interest for viewers.

PM me if you have any questions
