Greetings from the Critique Club

Hello tinkie2010! What flamboyant and lush roses you grow in South Africa!

Gorgeous colors in those roses certainly draw attention to them right away. It is unfortunate that the orange/brown background and those very green leaves compete for attention. If they had stayed muted in the background one could appreciate the roses more.

You selected roses that were 'past their prime' and accentuated that fact in your composition. This added originality to your composition and was a delight to note.

best regards,

Alice

Good, clean crisp capture of three roses , good bokeh but the lighting seems to be bit harsh- a very matter of fact image

i love flower shots , but without a title like " 3 withering roses" These dont make me go wow, and the bg is a bit distracting with part green and part not.

you've nailed the element of 3 equally visual objects...but I'm having a problem that the roses are so "spent"...you do have great clarity and focus...

I don't like the composition of this, though I am not sure what I would do different. Maybe angles them and put them more in a corner or something. It is just too in your face as it is.

I like that these flowers are arranged in a triangle. It adds to the symmetry of the piece. Beautiful flowers and beautiful colors!
However, I would have pruned off those two petals that are out of place on the bottom left rose. They are distracting and mar the symmetry. Removing them prior to shooting these flowers would have been quite easy
