The techicals: Composition is good. We get a nice echo motif with the second flower. Lighting is good, but not dynamic (ie. it's flat). Processing lets the shot down in my eyes. I can instantly see the highlight/shadow effect and that probably means you did too much. It further leads to the "flat" look.
The feel: I'm not sure where the picture is going. The subject is sort of sedate and still lifeish (which isn't bad), but the processing doesn't go with this idea and tries to give it an "edge" (at least in my eyes).
The game: The negative space was not negative enough. While you do have a large portion that is not occupied by the main subject, it is occupied by a secondary subject and the voters probably didn't take too kindly to that. |
