Greetings from the Critique Club

Susan, me again!

Well done on a good score in a tough challenge.

Great composition, good choice of subject and I like the white background. The lighting is also rather good and accentuates the colour of the flower well.

I think you could have tipped over to a 6 if the background was a little whiter. The top right quadrant is a little grey and I think this probably cost you a point or two. Also, the flower seems a little bit soft to me. I have that lens too and find at the longer focal lengths it is really quite soft.

All in all though this is a nice one.

Really nice use of light to show off the color and delicate nature of this flower. Good solid composition, and I see you have the DPC water drops! :-)

I love the fact that the background is light (not black as so many other photos in this challenge). The translucency makes the shot. Beautiful.
