Composition - What is it with you and these high key shots? I'm not objecting really, just seeing a trend here. Congrats on your candy shot btw. Back to this photo... I really like the arrangement and the framing of this shot. I'm not real keen on the high-keyness of it. Its cool as a high-key shot, but maybe this is too high-key, or at least it is for me. I think this is a great idea though.
Technical - Did I mention anything about high-key? I think that's one of the technical things that I don't agree with. I'm not saying its wrong, I just see it being better a wee bit less high key. The exposure is a little long. I think you lose a lot of viewers just in that aspect. The other thing is the DOF. I think this is a shot that should've used a greater DOF by cranking the F number. If there were more contrast between the flowers toward the end, it wouldn't be quite as necesary. As it is, I think it needs the DOF to clarify the boundaries of the flowers.
Overall - Cool shot as it is, but I can see where people get turned off by it. I don't care for the border on this photo either. That's just opinion though. Well good luck with the challenges to come - Bob
Very neat. I love the way you used white petals on a white background. Makes such a change from all those black backgrounds. The yellow is intense. Good work.
You didn't do the mint shot in candy did you? ;-) I like the use of high key in this shot. The focus is nicely done on the frontmost flower. Composition and layout all work nicely.
the composition here is lovely with the strong diagonal, but the red cast on the edges of the daisies looks a little odd... possible from over processing... - setzler
Top shot! Love the effect of the flowers metling into the background, very clever. Why didn't I think of something like this? You have succeeded in letting me know that I have absolutely no imagination, thank you :-)
Clever use of the repeatitive patterns. A little overexposed for this one because it blows out the richness of the yellows down the line. Still a good entry.
I see you adjusted your intensity and brightness levels. If I may make a suggestion and that's to ease up on it, you've blown out your highlights and you've lost most of the detail there would have been in those petals. This would have been a very lovely image if you had just kept the post processing to a minimum
