Greetings from the Critique Club:

This looks like your first entry. Welcome.

There's a lot right with this image, the overall composition and the interesting-enough light with the right exposure to give your shadows a bit of punch.

I think I disagree that you've nailed the focus, it seems a little soft to me - I think optimal sharpness should fall at the centre of the centre right flower.

I think the suggestion to boost the blue a little might be a good idea, though I wonder if the delicacy of your image would be lost.

Like many, I don't really care for borders, but you've picked an effective one here.

Overall this is a nicely composed delicate image.

might have boosted the blue just a tad

Technically, it's a very nicely done shot. exposure is good, focus, composition-- all spot on.

on a more personal level, I'm not finding it to be a terribly exciting shot-- that is to say, it's purely about the form, and not really making any sort of statement that can be long lasting.
