*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*
A very appealing image that meets the challenge well.
The beautiful bold colours here are very appealing and striking against the OOF sky background which is all very simplified in keeping with the challenge brief. However, I am somewhat confused by what I am seeing here, the OOF flower in the foreground is throwing the composition as a whole off balance it would have been better to exclude it or use a smaller aperture to get it into focus. It throws me because it is in front of the right hand flower which is all clearly in focus yet none of this is. It doesn't appear to be close enough to have such an effect. The flower on the left appears to be at least on the same focal plain yet all of it is in clear focus, its all very confusing.
I think an even more effective composition would have been to just have the left and the right flower without anything else at all. I particularly like everything about these two flowers. On their own these two alone would have had much more impact, I love the viewpoint of both of them. The two in the middle spoil the overall effect.
Thank you for your submission, apologies for the delay in critique, Sid |

| Good compliment of colors here, I'm really glad you chose to enter, it is lovely to the eyes. I can't find anything that would make it better, but I think you will have trouble beating out the competition, only because it is very less dramatic than some of the other shots. I know that seems to be against the "simplicity" part of the challenge, but even with simplicity you can get a dramatic effect to the shot, and I'm not sure if this one does that. However I do still have it in my top 5. Good Luck. |
