Greetings from the Critique Club :)

First Impression:
Yes Yes Yes When I click that critique button I don̢۪t know what I am going to get and I am glad to see one that I already like. I have seen this image in the challenge and thought it was really good

Composition:
Perfect use of thirds. The line of tomatos leads you nicely through the photo

Subject:
Everything in this shot looks like it is made to be an advert for a magazine clean and crisps

Technical:
The lighting in this shot is brilliant and the reflection in the worktop looks really good and the colours here really jump out at you and make you want to look.

My Opinion:
There is little to nothing I can say against this photo everything in it looks like it has being set up for an advert. Nice work would have expected to see this getting a ribbon. (I am not too sure if it did or not)

Greetings from the Critique Club :)

First Impression:
At first I was a little distracted by the background on your photo which is taking away from your main subject however I like the colours and the placing of your subject.

Composition:
Good use of thirds. But your subject is the last thing you look at on your shot. As when we look at a photo we tend to look from left to right meaning that we are seeing the distracting background first instead of the outstanding flower.

Subject:
This is a good choice of subject for this challenge. Yet something I may have thought about doing is putting a white backdrop behind it. It does not have to be anything special just something that will bring the flower to the front of the photo by eliminating any distracting background.

Technical:
As it is natural light there is not much I can comment on for your lighting. As for colour the colour in the petals is absolutely spectacular and I feel would have being enhanced even more by the use of a backdrop as I have already mentioned.

My Opinion:
I am afraid I agree with the voters here. It is half way it is a nice shot but with a little extra work could have gone way up maby as far as the top 20̢۪s
