| I like the idea behind this image, and the balance it represents. Unfortunately I think it suffers a bit from technical issues. The focus on the dried portion looks okay, though more centered on the edge of the petal? when it really should encompass both petals as a whole since they are your main subject. the addition of the droplets is nice, helps further the idea of freshness and life but with the focus problems the drops actually accentuate the blurring. I like the character background but I'm not sure that it doesn't make the image too busy. I'm not sure if it would help, but if you can manage it, try puting the petals on a glass plate and place that about 6-8 inches above the character paper/background then fix your lights to ensure no distracting shadows and see if that helps separate your subject from its background, it *might* help contain the focus on the subjects where it belongs too. Just something I saw in my research but haven't tried yet, so I can't be 100% sure if it'd work out! I gave a 4 |

| I think the background is just a bit too much, it distracts the eye from the main object, which in itself is beautiful. 5 |

| Another good idea, but feel the background is a little to busy... |

| A good idea for the challenge when combined with the title; like the background a lot, focus is excellent. The dead petal, though, is pretty much unrecognizable as a petal. I think it would be nice with just the single red rose petal against your background. |

| I can see the petal - but the brown object is not, to me, immediately discernable as a petal. Immediacy is important. The background text while oriental Chinese and exotic is a little distracting. It is a difficult subject to compose but I think you could make it a little better by removing some of the elements. |
