Thanks Ellamay for your nice critique. I am just now finding this feature and answering everyone's nice response to my photos. I will incorporate your advice about this image.
Greetings from the CC
I really like the composition that you chose. The subject choice is cliche for the topic, but you managed to enhance the creativity and appeal of the image. The choice of color background is also good, green is always a good backdrop for nature shots. The depth of field is also excellent helping your subject to stand out more.
The line of the flower gives a diagonal line in the image which again adds to the image.
What I feel is missing a bit is a bit more even light on the rose just to help it POP a bit more. Also if it was tilted a bit more towards the front of the image vs a bit to the left of image it may have helped.
Good effort, you can tell you put some thought into the image, but try to stay away from cliches if you can unless you can do them in a really extrodinary way.
I expected the flower to be overdone in this challenge, but this one is a bit different than the typical shot, which is nice. I like the color and texture of the empty space at the top, I think it compliments the flower nicely. There seems to be a bit of area on the flower where the light is a bit harsh, making it lose it's color, but otherwise very nicely done.
