First Impressions
Like the concept, but for this Challenge, the circle aspect is not strong enough, especially with the depth of field used here.
Photograph Information, Technicals & Composition Review
Parts of the clover flowers are overexposed and the detail has been lost. There also appears to be neat image or some other 'smoothing' process applied, which has resulted in additional loss of detail and texture.
I like the centered composition and it works for the concept, but as mentioned above, I think that for this Challenge, it would be difficult to take an image of clover and still have it appear as a 'circle' strong enough to be a player in this Challenge. The green in the rear is slightly out of balance, but fairly minor - but does make the square crop unbalanced.
Comments, Score & Placement Review
111/149 is likely a combination of non strong circle factor as well as some of the technicals in the image. An average of 4.16 from your 7 commenters is quite low: some of those comments are helpful, especially to show you why they have scored you low and why they don't think this met the Challenge. Your overall score of 4.76 reflects that most of the other voters who didn't comment probably felt the same way about your image as your commenters.
Summary
Nice concept, wrong Challenge for it. I like that you are directly over the clover, however 'next time', adjusting your camera settings so that you can retain your nice dof, but still allow some detail in the areas that are in focus, and not have them blown, will produce a stronger image. |
