Hey there from the Critique Club

Camera Work/Technical: I like the crispness that you captured.

Lighting: No way is this one overexposed or too bright as some of your voters and commenters have suggested. I think that you captured exactly what you set out to capture.

Composition/Content: Nice composition, as well. The reds and greens are nicely saturated, and the petals do a wonderful job pulling my eye into the frame. The brightness pulls my eye directly to the central subjects, then the petals let me wander through the frame again.

My Opinion: I really, really like this image...I think. The current image sizes that DPC allows for the open challenges are far too small for today's technology, PERIOD. Add to that the fact that you sized this one even smaller than those poor requirements and you have a perfect formula for a poorly scoring image. I bet this one was spectacular on your screen, and I bet that it would look terrific in print as well. It is just hard to see on the size of the monitor that I use.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,
Eric

I think that the size of your photo is too small and that may have killed your idea, maybe you shouldn't have used so much aperture too. I like the red though. I'm kind of new here in the dpchallenge but i saw a guy saying something other day which i agree. "Always use the biggest size that dp allows, always."
