Thanx for your CC comment Gary,
As of this week I've become a CC member myself, and I know how much time and effort goes into it.
I appreciate it, especially coming from you.

Critique Club here:
Hey Peter! I am doing one of my very rare appearances as a member of the critique club, actually I think this only my second or third time this year :) A very strong photo and submission to the backlighting challenge. In my opinion it should have placed a lot higher in the challenge, but you know how it is with flower shots and DPC :) There is not much really I can add to the comments you've already received, saying that there is not much to critisize about at all. The orange/yellow color tones work very well in conjunction with the black background and the backlighting set-up brings out those colors fantastically. The soft feel to the whole image brings in a mellow effect which I like, however the more softness you bring into a photo always brings on a decrease in detail and sharpness, so it is a very fine balance one has to take into account. I personally think there may be just a tad too much softness in this image, I would have liked to have seen just a tiny bit more detail in the petals. I am also wondering why you used ISO 1600 for this shot, did you forget to reset the camera?
All in all a shot you can be very proud of and congratulations on your 21st placing. |

The contrasts, colors, use of positive and negative space, cropping were all nicely done. I can't offer any suggestions for improving this photo! Good luck. |
