OK - the good stuff first: Great choice of aperture to get this DOF - it fits the image and also the general principles you have used for the composition are also good; it makes sense for the branch to exit the image at the corner.
I know you are happy to have some critique so here is my two cents: Although the main composition is OK, for me the crop at the bottom is too close to that flower and the position of the background branch is a little distracting. I've just had a slight play with it and rotating it about 5-10 degrees counter-clockwise seems to work quite well. I also think the image lacks a little punch - probably needs a little more exposure and a little more contrast - I wasn't too successful in trying that with this jpeg but it did get a little better - I also found that desaturating the yellow just a little really helped too.
Can I ask - are you shooting in RAW or just jpeg?
As ever this image has a lot more potential that what is on the screen - editing a RAW version would do justice to your good eye for an image.
I should put all of my comments in perspective; there are other contributing to this flower challenge whose feel for post-processing leaves me far behind so please take all of the above with a pinch of salt! |
