FIRST IMPRESSION: Bright and colorful, plenty of punch.
CHALLENGE: Meets the challenge
COMPOSITION: Composition is good. I like the inclusion of sky as it adds interest to the photo. You might try cropping tighter at the bottom and left though, and see if you like the results.
TECHNICAL: Exposure is near flawless. As an alternative, a wider aperture (lower number) would shorten the depth of field and help set your subject off from the background.
CONCLUSION: Great, colorful shot. If you have the opportunity you might try reshooting it at various settings and see if you can make it even better!
Thanks for sharing and good luck in future challenges!
Very pretty flowers, I like your different angle for this shot, I would love to see your focal flower isolated and shot the same way, keep up the good work. Gallatin
nice exposure level... the sky is colorful and the flower is still lit up... not the easiest thing always... the focus seems to be just a bit off though on the red flowers
