As I commented on another picture in this challenge, this theme seems a bit worn out to me...
EDIT:
The previous comment might have come off a bit harsh. One of my first thoughts after looking through some previous challenges on the site was that this site has a weird obsession with wine glasses and cutlery (especially forks)! :P
At least you are bringing a new element into the theme, which works pretty well. I love the sharpness of the petals, and the color of the flower is great in itself. I'd love to see a somewhat wider crop with the color line completely centered, as it is now it seems a little too far to the right and perhaps also leaning slightly.
As for the challenge, I feel that the colors don't quite fit. The color of the flower is neither completely red nor completely orange, and as such it doesn't really complement neither the green or the blue from the background, though it might have worked as an "in-between" if the green and blue were darker or at least a bit more saturated.
Still, those are just my 2 cents of course, and other people will probably have a different opinion :) Besides, I'm just a baby when it comes to photography, so you shouldn't really put much weight on my opinion anyway :P |
