Greetings from the Critique Club
The first thing that strikes me with this image is the vibrant colors. Rich and inviting without feeling overdone. The lighting seem to be pretty direct from overhead, robbing us of some of the minute details. Had the sun been low on the horizon you may have captured more interesting shadows and perhaps more details. Aside from that, I like the image. I like the softness of this flower. I can almost feel the silkiness of the petals.
As for being disappointed in where this image placed, you shouldn't be. You received a respectable score from the voters. There was some very tough competition. |
