The technicals: Nice DOF and composition. You didn't oversaturate the reds and oranges too much which is good because they quickly become so in the digital format. I will bet more than one comment mentioned the blown highlights. Pretty much a no-no since they are large and are close to the main focus of the picture. I might have tried a polarizer.
The feel: Reasonably abstract. The square crop neither helps nor hurts. It probably suffers from being a bit "standard" (too many other shots like it).
The game: Flowers...love em or hate em. If you want to score well with a flower you have to a) shoot in an interesting way (you did that) and b) be PERFECT on technicals. People will devour any shortcoming all the more because it is a flower. |
