crop, sharpen, adjust contrast & color, resize
this was so great the day I took it-subject.we shall see..
Post: THANKS TO ALL WHO TOOK THE TIME TO COMMENT!! I took the "Rule" to be a suggestion, in terms of subject placement, but more important in terms of fore, mid and background. I looked at the crop & composition of this in that fashion. Besides, "RULES" were made to be broken! just not here eh? C'est la vie...

Hi from Critique Club.
and welcome to DPchallenge.
Technically , I think this shot is overexposed. White flowers are hard to shoot and a lot of the petal detail is lost. The leaf in the front left is a bit distracting. A different angle may have helped both problems.
Subject: I think the crop is too tight, its not a macro so more flower and better DOF would have made this more interesting.
Meeting the challenge, Well I think the comments speak volumes, it is centered no rule of thirds there.
I have looked at your portfolio and you have some really nice pictures there. It takes awhile to understand the voting trends, but the people here are helpful and very honest with their comments.
Keep entering challenges and you will learn that score doesn't really matter, it's the challenge of the shot and how much you enjoyed yourself taking the picture.
Best of Luck
Anne, this is an exquisite photo. The light, focus, color, and composition are superb (just not for the rule of thirds challenge). I think you would have had a much higher score if you had used this for Free Study. (No noise problem here!)
No, no, no! The stamen and pistil are centered; this isn't what the Rule is about. A very nice photo, and it would be a winning candidate in other topics, but not for this one. Now, if this had been cropped so that the pistil and its shadow had been on grid nodes, you'd have had a real chance to win.
