Challenge:Landscape II (Basic Editing III) Camera:Nikon D50 Location: In a apartment complex Date: Nov 5, 2005 Aperture: F/4.2 ISO: 100 Shutter: 1/200 Galleries:Floral Date Uploaded: Nov 8, 2005
The reason I voted low is that there isn't a main point. The flower isn't large enough to be the main point of interest even though it is the only point in focus.
Looks like you found the prettiest subject in the picture to focus on. Unfortunately, I think you are in for some steep competition here. A similar composition of a flower in a park may have been a better choice.
i don't think i love all the negetive space. i think that maybe if the picture had more of the flower bush and less of the building, this would be better. however, nice
wsay too much of this image is given over to the out of focus, busy, bright distracting BG. if the BG was desaturated that might help, but a different angle for this shot would have been a better choice.
