Wow this is a hard challenge .. LOL

Wow I can't believe I got in the top 20 . I'm so excited . Thankyou
Everyone for the lovely comments and the nice votes ... And yes that glare bothered me also , but Its hard to get the lighting correct without any lighting equipment . I was so worried of where this would place , because I started at a 6.8 and in the next few days it went to 6.6 then in the last 3 days it dropped so much to 6.2 . But I knew it wasn't a winner . Still excited to be under that 20 mark . Whoo Hoo !!!! :)

Greetings from the Critique Club!

This is a very pleasing shot to look at, those nice deep reds go over well and that teeny bit of green stem is just enough to break up all that red. Yes the teeny bit of glare does detract, but it's Basic editing and everyone knows you can't selectively use any tools, so there is leeway there. You have the basics of simple clean com down here, stick with it. Yes, the lighting does need work (waxed paper over your light souce might help), but there are plenty of ways to get good lighting without breaking the bank. I do think the focus here is more on the vase than the flower; watch your AF.

Overall not a lot to nitpick, good work on making it to the top 20! Keep it up and keep on entering!

Feel free to PM me,

Susan

I love the bit of green in this sea of red

Lovely reds. I would like to have seen the focus a little sharper, and the light reflection on the vase is distracting to me. But other than that, I like the setup and shot.
