 This Antherium is in my mothers front window. It is so beautiful, yet so plain! That is why this is one of my favorite flowers.

Greetings from the critique club

I think this shot could have benefited from more DOF and a little better lighting.
It's just a tad washed out.

With the composition you chose, the stamen (?) [green long bit] should have been in focus as it is one of the main elements in the shot.

Actually I think the entire shot should have had sharper focus to really work.

A valiant effort.

Of course, just my opinion.

Great macro! With details, many textures and many elements. Is it simple?

Not that it matters, and someone else might have already pointed it out, but it's actually spelled "anthurium".

Technical: Most all images submitted fit the challenge. Exposure composition focus lighting all pretty good, but I think they could be stronger.

Personal: The DOF is too narrow for me. I'd really like to be able to see all the detail in the veins and the green structure.
