Nice BW picture of flowers. I think that is difficult to pull off at times.

Focus is a bit soft at the front. I think colour would have looked better against the nice background you've chosen.

Composition is good, unfortunately the picture is blurry. DOF or focus is off

Greetings from the Critique Club...

Hi CarpeNoctem :)

I always appreciate the study of classic photographers in one's own personal journey to improve. Ansel Adams was a definitive master of both the photography and printing process. I'm glad you have chosen him as a subject of study. You will learn quite a bit and delve into some subject matter that you may not have otherwise :) You will find inspiration in Edward Weston's works also.

This photo, as presented, doesn't seem to create much visual appeal. I think your background surface and perspective on the shot may be contributing to that. Depth is important, and this photo is rather two-dimensional. I don't think the viewer found much interest in the presentation...

interesting idea. On my screen the thread has lost some of its detail.

Great texture and tone...nice deep velvety blacks...a very appealing simple composition.
