This a flower hanging over the lake close to my apartment. I made several shots, this is the one that fits to the challenge. It was a nice sunny day, that the only lighting.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

First impression - I like this! It makes me smile. Looks like a lovely day, and a very lovely view.

Technicals - very crisp focus on your subject and nice depth of field to blur the background yet keep it coherent. Lighting is very good.

Meets the challenge - yep. Looks quite rule of thirds to me. What may have helped your score a bit, though, would be to have the horizon on a third line as well. That said, I quite like it on the half line. Adds a nice balance to the third line with the flower.

This is a lovely, quiet shot, and an excellent first challenge entry. Don't let scores around here discourage you - keep shooting and keep entering!

Nice way to show the rule of thirds... this sure looks like this might be inthe the Phoenix, Arizona USA metropolitan area.

I'd recommend stooping down a bit and tilting up the camera to get the same flower shot and get the horizon on the lower thirds line and away from the focal point.

this would have been a winner if the dof could have been greater and completely blurred the background, still worthy of a good score for the 1/3 rule....7
