Hi Danitar, welcome to the Critique Zone!
The only thing that I disagree with on this photo is the score. 6+ is certainly a decent score but I think that in a Free Study, this could have gone up to a full point higher. It just doesn't really connect to the challenge except in the name. (You're not alone in this!)
I might have changed one thing - I don't normally comment on borders but I think that with a photo taken to give a paint effect, some sort of framing would probably be beneficial. Other than that, the composition, structure and lighting of this is simply masterly. I personally disagree with the comment asking for something to be perfectly in focus, I don't think that it would work with this effect, it's great just as it is.
I'm sure that we will be seeing more of you, and I look forward to it!
Happy hunting,
Frank. |

The background was actually created by a creative aperture with the Lensbaby, so that was done in camera. The only editing was curves for contrast, a little brightening and such etc. All editing was done in Lightroom for this image. I love how this particular aperture does create what looks like overlays done in Photoshop. It does, however, have a very shallow depth of field when used with a close-up filter.
Thank you everyone for comments and critiques.

Adding this image on Posthumous Ribbons, Part IV 's thread as underrated.

| Nice smooth edit on this. I like what looks like an overlay for the background... I just wish that the one thing in perfect focus was the yellow coming out of the flower. |
