The Flower of Gabrielby
navilorComment by sarampo: Hi Kevin, greetings from the
Critique Club!
Congratulations on your top 10 photo, it's really a great placing :)
The lines on your photo are very clean and smooth, and the toning is just right.
The pollen and flower tip is very sharp, and I would love to get more details on the Nikon+Canon lens thing going on there.
It fits the challenge perfectly as it's a good example of high key.
I would like to see two things in this shot, I think that it could improve it a bit.
First, get a bit more contrast on the yellow part and its shadow. Make it less "grey", by adding a bit more depth to it. Most of the top places have a contrasty element in the photo, to direct your viewers' eyes to it.
Also, I would take advantage of the direction the tip is pointing and not center it that much, I would place the tip more to the left, so to guide the photo.
Other than that, it's a great result and your first top 10. Well done!
Please feel free to PM me should you need anything else.
Cheers,
Joao
