Hi from the Critique Club

First impressions are that the shot is nice and vivid but unbalanced. From your comments it's clear you were going for the dying flower look but in the shot it just looks like some petals have been pulled off. This gives the flower an unbalanced look. This detracts from the delicate nature of the flower.

Technically the shot is good, DOF is chosen well and the second flower is a good addition to the shot. Placing the flower off centre is good but the negative space here does not help. A crop that removed the green area at the bottom but leaves the main flower slightly off centre due to the other flower may have held more interest.

Good luck
Gerry
