Autumn in my garden... The only vivid colored flowers are my old yellow daisies. Used a wireless flash to exaggerate the contrast with side and back lighting. Hope you like it...

** Critique Club **

For starters I like to say wow the bright yellow is outstanding and vibrant. I'm going to split this photo into 3 pieces working from left(panel 1) to right (panel 3).

Left Side (panel 1)
I like the profile look of the shot but the DoF Leave a bit of blurr on the pedals that I feel takes away from the photo more then it adds. I really like the lighting and how it shows the details of pedals themselves and works very well against the black background. It appears to be higher placed in that panel rather then centered which would have made for a flow into the next panel. Its not off by much but noticable.

Middle (panel 2)
This is the make it or break it for the flow of the photo. Since I'm looking at a profile shot in the first photo I expected to see this one a little more centered to represent a portrait of the daisy. While the composition of this is great for a stand alone photo in my opinon it takes that much away from the photo rather then adds anything. The flow could have worked having the flower that high if it were centered at that level rather then having it justified left. Again, exceptional clarity and excellent details in this section. The lighting is just incredible. The background in this panel is a little distracting as it is not black/dark enough to coinside with the backgrounds of the other panels.

Right Side (Panel 3)
This panel matches/lines up with the panel 1 to achieve the flow. Unfortunately its lower then the first panel and disrupts the flow but works very well justified right like that. This panel has the DoF I would have expected to see in panel 1. I really think that shadows and highlights in this panel adds to overall characteristics of the photo tho and works very well with panel 1.

When I refer to the flow I am talking about drawing my eyes thru the photo without having a jagged line of sight. All in all I think the photo is very well done and probably would have scored an 8 or a 9 from me (but I didn't vote or enter). Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing some more.

Good lighting. Looks like ALMOST natural sunlight. Great focus. Would like to see better centering for the middle pic.

Very vibrant use of lighting. Your selection of angles brings in motion. A great shot. I wonder how it would look with the center full instead of a break in the petals in the lower portion? Good Luck -9-

The light in the left image is very nice. I love the contrast of the bold yellows with the dark backgrounds. This would also be nice with a black or dark green background where the deep red-brown is in the lower right of the center image.
