Hello from the Critique Club!!!

Composition:

The composition of this shot is just a little off. Maybe the crop is a bit too tight.

Background/ Foreground
The shallow DOF has the background blurred, I think a sharper image of the flower would have worked better and raised the scores

Camera Work:
A sharper focus as stated above would have helped, shooting macro can be difficult and getting it all in perspective is a challenge all it's own.

Post-Processing:
To meet the challenge correctly I would have made the pink just a little more red.

My Opinion:
This is a nice shot but a few things could make a great shot, a better focus and (DoF) and possibly a different angle.

I hope you find these comments to be helpful, thank you for allowing me to critique your picture. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact me via PM.

Best of luck in your future photographic endeavors,

Regards,
Karen Doss

Pink and green aren't complementary colors... red and green are.

This image just needa bit more sharpness to it it seems.

3 - Like this, but a little too close in my opinion (OOF), and also, I'm seeing more pink/green here than red. Perhaps adjusting the hue in pp may have helped create a stronger image for the Challenge, who knows.

good shot

The flower look more like a pink to me. Nice idea though. Perhaps you could adjust the reds using hue!

good work, but not quite sharp enough where it matters

Good picture. Red's not red enough for the challenge.
