Critique Club Comments by Grayce
Greetings!
This image is very strong on texture. I like it!
Your composition is good, and it fills up the frame nicely. You have a good, strong diagonal, which is appealing.
Lighting and exposure are good. The shadowed part could probably have a bit more light, but there is enough to see that great texture.
Some have said the focus is a bit soft, yet your depth of field appears to be good. I suspect there was a bit of camera shake, or the thistle moved. For a close up like this, it's best to use a tripod. I've taken many closeups without one, and have had the same problem. Slight blur.
The coloring, which is the theme for this challenge, doesn't stand out too much. Although I love your subject, the thistle, it isn't the best subject for a "color challenge."
Overall, I like this, and I look forward to seeing more of your work. Welcome to DPC!!!

| I have got an impression that the flower itself is a bit out of focus, the main focus is on the leaves, great idea otherwise, Good luck |

| "sharp" focus would have been better on a clearly defined subject. (sorry for the pun, should be +1 on score just for having to read that!) |

| Clarity is the issue here more than anything. The lighting doesn't look so great judging by the really harsh shadow left in the bottom left corner. Not really a lot of color either. |

| Good compostition and crop here. Personally I would have increased the saturation a little to bring out the green and purple/blue more. |

| Seems a little out of focus. Looks like it's not a good day to take pictures, overcast BG. Too much sadow takes away from the shot. |

and do scottish girls get a dozen of these for valentine's day?
not necessarily the best flower to pick for a color competition, nor the strongest shot you could take of it - the colors seem a bit dull and the main part (whatever it's called) of the 'flower' is a little dark. |

| Lighting could have been alittle better and shown off the blue but a nice composition and great texture. |
