Hey. No offense was taken. Welcome. You did exceptionally well to come in 21st in a very low average scoring, debateable and subjective challenge. I would have cropped a bit tighter to get rid of the green Bokeh (background OOF area) that distracts. The blown whites in your petals can be subdued with PS (PhotoShop CS2/3/4, Elements or whu) but once white, allways white, you wont get any definition back by some PS Magic. IF you have the original file from your camera, make a COPY, keep the ORIGINAL unchanged, and look at Challenge Rules > Basic Editing Rules where Saturation and Adj Levels are allowed and redo the pic to lessen the harshness of the whites. I am no DPC expert but that's I hope a start.
Search the Forums > Site Feature Discussion > How'd they do that? and Learn > Tutorial
I found most of my Q's there. Other learning was done by reading, reading, reading comments, past and present, and looking at the Photog's Image Comments.
Happy shooting!

Don't take offense...didn't understand what DMC meant (thanks for telling me) because I just joined the group and I don't understand all the abbreviations yet :)
I appreciate the good score and the comment about the blown highlights. I'm also a fairly new photographer, so I want advice on how to make my photos better. How could I have fixed the highlight problem? |

| I originally rated this a 6, but I'm going to bump this up because I've been commenting on all my sixes, and I think this is better than that. I think I originally rated it so low because I'm not sure how this fits in the challenge. It didn't hit the nail right on the head for me, but it's such a beautiful photo, I'm bumping you up to a 7. |

| DMC. Who's treasure is it anyway? Just a few too many blown highlights for my liking but the subject is complex and striking....... |

| Lovely photo, a reasonable but not great tie to the challenge, nice tones and processing. |
