I don't see this image as flat or boring in fact I find it to be the opposite. The tonal range is very good and overall the image is very contrasty, two things you don't find in flat images, IMO.
As for the color, I think you made the perfect choice. This image is about texture not color. You got your score because most people didn't feel this was right for still life and not because of the quality of the photo, which judged on just that is a 7 in my book. |

::: Critique Club :::
Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.
First Impression - the most important one:
Big mistake decreasing the colours.
Composition:
the composition is ok .. not fantastic .. but there is very little to play with in this shot to improve it.
Subject:
Meets the challenge.
Technical (Colour and light):
You have issues here. The colour being dulled out is boring .. and flat ... and well you need colour ... unless you think that the original is bad. Playing with things like brightness .. reducing for this shot .. and upping the contrast adds a whole new dynamic to the picture ... and picks up colours you can't see here.
To grow its vote?:
Think about what other people will see and say when entering something like still life ... yes interesting, exciting, new ... or oh a pinecone. I like pinecones .. they make great fuel in the fire ... but ...
Summary:
I think this is a solid shot ... but just needs some playing to make it intesting. Good work .. keep practicing.
If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.
Cheers

| This does not meet the challenge - inanimate but not an arranged composition of objects. |

| Overexposed and out of focus - not a very interesting subject - lacks a bit of colour and sharpness. |
