Greetings from the Critique club :)

I didn´t vote in this challenge but if I had I probably would have given it a 5. A 5 from me means neither good nor bad.

What I like about the image is that first, it obviously meets the challenge, no doubt about that. The bokeh in the backround and the composition are pretty good. What I dislike however is that the image doesn´t really appear sharp wich is what I have come to expect from "macro "images like this. I don´t know what it is, perhaps it´s the "slight blur" you say you applied to the image in post processing or was it something else, was it really windy when you took this?

Anyway, that is my biggest gripe, the lack of clarity of this image, a bit more contrast and a sharper image and this would have appealed so much more to me personally.

Not much more I can say about the image, like I said earlier, not good but certainly also far from bad :)

Kind regards from Iceland, Lárus.

With parts of two others; hard to isolate petals on sunflower. Nice color & background appropriately blurren, but center of flower out of focus.

Might be nicer if the main light were on the front of the flower, instead of behind.
