Greetings from the Critique Club!
The first thing that strikes me about this image is the fine detail on the seeds. It's a slightly different take on the much-done subject of dandelions. This choice of depth of field clearly moves the emphasis to the inside of the seed head...but I'm not sure it "works" well. For my tastes, I'd like to see both the seed heads and their parchutes rather than looking through the blur of fluff. The background is natural and nicely out of focus but the pattern of green and brown is still quite strong and so makes a distraction that pulls the eye away from your subject.
For the purposes of the challenge it appears the voters didn't find a very strong fit with the topic of symmetry. By looking at the other entries in the challenge it seems that well-divided, centered topics worked best. I like the placement of the dandelion in this image and the choice of square crop...just not effective for the challenge.
Keep experimenting and always shoot what you love! |
