Hey there from the Critique Club
Looking through your portfolio, this is your best capture to date. It is far better than 4.7, but the image size is too small. Always, always, always, always us the full size parameters that DPC allows.
Camera Work/Technical: Your focus is spot on crisp, and your chosen white balance yielded very nice, strongly contrasting colors. I can almost feel the warmth of the scene with such vivid colors.
Lighting: Your lighting is one of the main image strengths. You did a fantastic job keeping highlight details while also exposing the shadows nicely.
Composition/Content: I like the overall composition of the image, as well as the way you shot the flowers from a side-front view rather than a straight on shot. My only complaint with the composition is that it feels very crowded at the top of the frame. I'd like to have seen this one backed out just a bit so that those petals weren't touch the top.
My Opinion: Again, this is my favorite shot in your portfolio, but the size of the image killed your score.
