thanks for the comments, i was just testing the waters a little with this one. not quite sure what 'sells' on this site yet. it's difficult to please everyone out there, and the voting reflects this.
Greetings from the Critique club. I hope to give you some insight on your photo. I really dont have lot to go on with no photographers comments, so I will try to help with my opinion. You have met the challenge, you have a pattern in the photo and that meets the challenge. Pretty good DOF. The lighting seems flat on this photo, perhaps it was taken on a cloudy day or indoors with minimal lighting. The colors dont seem to pop out on the screen like they could. Maybe you could have bumped up the saturation or the contrast. More initial lighting on the subject would have helped. But I dont think that the pattern is the main focus of the shot. That likely effected the score as well. Good luck with future challenges.
