Hello from the Critique Club:
The low number of 1, 2, and 3 votes you received speak strongly that you picked a subject well within the definition of the challenge. The colors are wonderful and the background provides a pleasing contrast to the roses. I think where this image is weakest is in composition. I can tell you put some thought into the composition of this image by the placement of the three roses at the rule of thirds nodes. Still something doesn’t look right. As I looked at your image for a few minutes it came to me. If you pretend that the roses are people, all three are facing out of the picture. No matter where the viewer looks, their eyes are directed away from the image instead of to its strong point, the opened rose. The best suggestion I have for this image is too crop out the two buds and focus entirely on the open rose. There is some wonderful colors and detail in this rose to work as a sole subject and hold the viewers attention.
