Greetings from the critique club...

My first impression is that this is a gorgeous image and technically sound. In any other challenge, I would easily give this photo a 7. In this challenge however, I would have given it a 5 or 6 because it is difficult to figure out the "before and after". That doesn't mean it doesn't fit the challenge, but you have to remember that your image will be viewed by a variety of people with different backgrounds. If the before and after of your image relates to botany, and/or the transformation of the flower, not everyone will understand the message you are trying to explain because it is a specialiazed knowledge.

If you need any clarification on any of my comments, please feel free to pm me. It might take some time for me to get back to you.

Good exposure and colours. The DOF is a little too shallow especially with this type of flower.

Great lighting and color. I love the water drops. I wish the DOF was a little larger, still a great shot.

Different interpretation of "before and after". Might get dinged for it.
