| I like the lighting and the focus. The composition is very symmetrical, and a different angle might produce a little more variety and interest. |

no comment. :P j/k
Technically it is very good I think. Aesthetically, the colors are nice. Compositionally though - same comment as others and yourself. Lacks interest - maybe a different angle or something. A 5.1 from me so as not to surprise or disappoint. :) |

I can't believe you didn't get ANY comments! Shame on us.
I didn't vote on this challenge, but I'd probably have given it a 5 or 6.
The rich tones and sharpness are nice, but I find myself longing for more to look at. Does that make sense? The extremely shallow DOF leads the eye to a spot, but there isn't a whole lot to see there. Where's  jutildawhen you need her? She always says these things so much better.
I also think the composition might be more interesting if it were somehow less symmetrical and straight-on. I'm sure you wanted to break away from the same-old rule of thirds thing, but in this case I feel it might have helped.
Overall, a fine image and surely deserving of some comments. |

You are quite the apt score predictor!
Very nice detail in the little sliver of the image that is in focus. one of the big challenges with macro photography is using an aperture that gets as much of your subject in focus as you want/need to make for an interesting photo. That usually means going with a very narrow aperture, which in turn requires buckets and buckets of light so that you can properly expose the shot.
Not a lot going on in this shot, but were more of it in focus and if it were shot from a different angle, it might have been a bit more interesting.
Good luck. |
