I placed a yellow flower from a Shrimp Plant in the middle of one of the purple flowers from a vining plant. (I don't know it's name but makes the most beautiful purple flowers on my wall and clusters which hang down from my lattice roof)

I took out the noise, a few hot spots, and adjusted the hue/saturation.

Greetings from the Critique Club :)

It looks like your commenters put it very well. This image screams for contrast and color. There is much potential in this photo but it needs some post processing. Contrast and saturation would do wonders. Possibly some sharpening - it is hard to see whether it is in focus or not.

You seem to have done a good job with a shallow DOF as the background is nicely blurred. It would be nice to see this image after some procesing.

Please feel free to contact me via the PM system.

The contrast is a bit flat.

Seems a bit faded, but that may be because the ones I've just seen were SO saturated.

Very washed-out feeling to it. Try darkening the background than increasing the contrast levels in editing of those two flowers.

Unfortunately the colours look washed out.

This could be so beautiful with a little postprocessing. The colors looks so flat here.

I wish the purple was more vibrant but this is a good shot.

This image would have benefited from some post processing, such as levels, brightness/contrast, hue/saturation.

seems a little dull? perhaps bumping up the saturation would help?

Colors too muted, insufficient saturation and contrast - 4
