Greetings from the critique club!

Hi! Welcome to DPC first of all! What a wonderful first time shot to enter! I love the colors of the shot and the light appears to be natural coming from a window behind the flowers?

The biggest thing I'm sure you heard about is the focus and the background. The blue material pattern seems to be fighting with the flowers for my attention. A solid black or white background would really make these flowers pop, yes even a white one, but you would have to be very careful with the exposure on that one. The composition of the shot is well done, even and the stem is leading me into the shot to the flowers. A bit more brightness and contrast would really make this shot pop for me. If you decide to try to reshoot this I would love to see the new pictures. This shot has a lot of potential and I would love to see any reshoots you do.

Good Luck In Future Challenges!

good topic, nice composition. focus could be higher, and if you had a different background it would stand out better.

Litle lack of sharpness and another background color would have been nicer

Seems to be a little bit out of focus and the colors could use some sharpening. But it does meet the challenge

Wonderful flowers. My next favorites after the daisies. I wish you used another backround. The texture is not very appealing. Also the focus is too soft and the lighting... hm... you could have used it as to make the flowers pop out more than they do now. Is just my opinion anyway. 8 from me

Needs better focus and lighting. Also a more contrasting background might have helped here also

love the title. Seems a tad, wee, bit of of focus. Maybe would have used a different BG

Focus is off and the background isn't very good. There are a lot of really good flower shots on this site, you might want to look around and get some ideas for your next try.

Colors appear a little dark and dirty and your focus could be better. Uninteresting composition.

Feels ever so slightly out of focus...

A little blurred. If the focus was sharper I think this would be a great photo.

Background texture is a little distracting.
