Great shot and idea for the photojournalism challenge.
COMPOSITION- You've got a great eye for putting this together. The angle you've chose is great in showing these plants. The red and green plants are perfect colors for the holiday. Your DOF is perfect and I like your detail on the plants.

BACKGROUND- I think that you could have cropped down just a little lower. Those christmas tree boxes are just kinda in the way back there. So just a tad above the flowers in the back because that lower box looks fine in the shot, it's just the upper one that seems messy.

CAMERA WORK- Your camera work is great. You've chosen a great aperature for your DOF. The front leaves on the plant are a little bright. I wonder if a quicker shutter speed would have lowered that some.

DIGITAL PROCESSING- You've done great on resizing this and not having any artifacts or distortions. Colors are great. I wonder if you could have done a little more saturation to bring out the colors a little more and the lighting for the leaves.

MY OPINION- At first when I saw this I thought that it was just a normal shot of some plants. Getting to think about the shot I could see how it fits in the photojournalism challenge. I like that it wasn't the norm and it was an interesting take on the challenge. And it is something that was news worthy cause last week had "BLACK FRIDAY" and if you were out shopping that day it was hectic.

Really great focus, and excellent composition. This is definitely worthy of the local section of the paper. Nice job.

Excellent dof

Wonderful perspective! If I scroll down so that the top half inch or so is cropped, it has even more impact. Good work.

Great shot. I give you an 8

A good photo but I feel it is lacking some emotional impact of someone in the photo maybe talking or doing business.

Well, good title, but this photo would be a lot better with people in it looking at the flowers or interacting with them in some way

Great picture, love the colors, and the idea is good. I don't think this would go on the front page, which I the only thing I'm taking points off for. Nice job though! -Talya
