HI Janine!
Great shot - but then again I would like it, they are amongst my favourite flowers...
Like I said, I like it, but it doesn't take my breath away like some of your other work. Two things I can think of (bearing in mind that it's all subjective):
Firstly the lighting doesn't seem quite right. Not sure I can put my finger on it but it's very bright and contrasty in the middle, but a little dark around the outside petals. It looks a little like on camera flash not quite delivering?
Secondly the composition - for me it is just in between two choices - really tight and detailed or a little further out and capturing the whole flower. I guess my mind sees it like the flower equivalent of cutting a human model off at the knees.
This may all sound a little harsh and for many others I would just say 'great shot' - but you have so much history of doing better.
Happy hunting!
Frank. |
