This is totally unique, totally silky smooth, and so sweet..... Love the reflection, and you are now my friend to..... I have added you as a favorite.....
Hello from the Critique club, my name is Jon Rowe, and i will be looking at your image this evening :)
Composition/Lighting : i think the composition really works here. the bulb and the pad on the left are positioned well on th horizontal third line, and i love the DOF you used here.
Challenge : I think this met the challenge nicely. you should be proud of this, especially for it to be a first challenge entry. you even received two favorites, something some take months to achieve. GREAT JOB!
Conclusion : i really like this. i think the only thing that i could give my opinion on where i would change this is to possible increase the contrast a little to make the bulb stand out a little more, and maybe a TAD sharping overall. with this being your first entry, i'm sure to see more quality work coming from you. great job, and keep up the great work.
nice photo, the only thing I'd point out is that it seems like your camera focused on the leaf to the left side instead of the bud coming out of the water. I love the DOF and the composition - aside from the basic editing rules, you might play around with selective blurring or dodging and burning and different coloring techniques. very nice first entry
Annie Yayyyy!!! You did GOOD for your first jump into the voting pool! I am so excited to see how awesome you are going to do here. Your style and execution are VERY DPC friendly!
Congratulations on a QUITE respectable first showing, Sister!
Annie -this is just beautiful!! I Love the silkiness of the water, the reflectiion of the lotus, the rich colors(the pink is so so pretty) and how crystal clear and in focus this is.
Not a bad score for your first entry!! You did GREAT!!
Now this is what a still life should be! I love the silkiness of the water as well as the mirror-like reflection. This photo was very well done as far as focal clarity, depth of field and balance. If anything...I think maybe I might have liked the blossom to have been a bigger part of the photograph... but I have been accused of being strange before! :) Good shot (8)
