Critique Club:
Hi Woody. Congratulations on your first DPC submission. Just a question about your aperture, I guess that was a typo: f/405?
You have chosen a common subject for the color challenge, flowers. I guess flowers depict color more than anything else, and your azalea does just that.
The main subject is a little out of focus however, the leaves immediately behind the flower have become the main focal point here. The shallow DOF is okay as the leaves right out the back have been blurred out. Had the focus been on the flower itself, the leaves immediately behind the flower would also have been blurred.
The lighting is also a little distracting, especially with those harsh shadows running along the surface of the flower.
All in all a simple photo which radiates a lovely shade of pink. No "wow" effect but a good start in DPC. I look forward to seeing more of your work in the near future.

| I'm not sure the lighting and focus are where they need to be for this shot. |

| Nice flower. The focus is too far back. |

| love the silhouettes on the petals. Also the leopard like pattern in the center petal. Unfortunately, the leaf just behind the blossom, to the left, seems the sharpest focus point. (I'd have cropped out the hot spot near the top.) |

| Beautiful flower; lighting is different, yet quite interesting. Focus is a bit soft for my personal taste, though. |

| Nice idea. Did you use a slow shutter speed? the flower looks a little blurry. I think perhaps a little more lighting would make the flower stand out more as well. Good composition otherwise |

| the play of light and shadows doesn't compliment this flower very well... it would've been better with more consistent lighting. |

| A little blurry I think. And the shadows are "in the way" also. |

| A little oversaturated, isn't it? |
