::: Critique Club :::
Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.
The critique I am doing is for "Welcome home"
First Impression - the most important one:
Vibrant, but slightly overtaken by the white background as the tips of the flowers blended in.
Composition:
I really like this composition, the use of vertical thirds works, although I would have liked to see the stamen on the horizontal thirds to see if that would have added an extra dimension.
Subject:
I like the colours ... the background colour was however a minor issue, I feel that the stark white detracted from the image which started to blend with it.
Technical (Colour and light):
Well lit with good use of colour.
To grow its vote?:
I would think about the cropping used and try looking at the leading lines and thirds rule. Think about how to make the image pop with different uses of background colour.
Summary:
Fantastic picture which in reality did VERY well and voted well, You did a great job. And good to have this as a learning expereince with the the softbox concept. YOU SHOULD BE PROUD!
If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.
Cheers
Kari |

Wow! That's quite some flower. I like the pinks against the stark white background. |

interesting composition, but somehow the very bright white background is a bit overwhelming to the point where the flower's tips almost blend in. |
