Greetings from the Critique Club!
When given an image to critique, I'll look at it first and try to guess how it scored before I look at the stats. With this one I guessed it was probably a low 6.0, so I wasn't too far off! This meets the challenge very well, is pretty well composed, has good focus, and is a pleasing subject. One thing I could suggest would be to take the shot so that you have a strong diagonal - have it start more toward the upper left corner and flow toward the lower right - but still keep that lovely curve of the three-pronged bit. That would give it a touch more energy, I think. You also have a few spots of sensor dust - not anything I'd normally notice but for a critique I do look pretty closely. Those can be cloned or healed in both advanced and basic - it's a nice finishing touch to ensure you don't give voters a reason to downgrade your entry. |

The detail you've captured is amazing. Once I get past the awe of the detail there's nothing that keeps my interest though. Something is missing. |

Excellent macro. Really love the polen on the bottom stamen (?). Don't think it needed to be so desaturated. |
