Greetings from the Critique Club!

My first impressions were that the photo is a bit small, but that it has a nice vibrant color to it. It meets the rule of thirds challenge topic, too.

I'm surprised that you were able to get something so clear with a 1/10 shutter speed. Even on a tripod, it must have been a calm day.

For doing no editing, this shot is very nice out of camera. The colors are almost a bit too saturated for my tastes, with some loss in the texture in the petals. The dof is nice, with just enough in focus, and I like the slight hint of the yellow tones in the background that work with the rose. The border you chose is nice.. simple, and in fact, I almost missed it.

The size of the submitted shot is a bit smaller than DPC'ers are used to, so you probably had a few people who lowered your vote a tad. Using the full size alloted next time will be helpful. Perhaps it was just the way you resized since you say there was no editing (in this case sharpening), but the edges of the petals seem a bit too sharp and defined.

A nice shot overall, but I think the size of the photo was your biggest enemy here. After reading the comments that users left during the challenge, it appears that others agree.

Hope this has been helpful. If you have any questions, please feel free to PM me. Good luck in your future challenges!

Try using the max 640 pixles next time, It´ll lead to a higher score, I promise you.
